SCHOLASTIC, PRESCHOOL-GRADE 3
Little Nell has found the perfect pumpkin for Halloween. It's bumpy and a little lumpy, and it's just right. Her bossy sisters tell her it's too small and ugly to make a good jack-o'-lantern, but with a little help from her friends, Little Nell shows them all that big ideas sometimes come in small packages.
Reviews
Once again, Cuyler and Hillenbrand create a warm, empowering story about a youngest sister’s struggles. — Booklist
Hillenbrand sets the woodsy tale in a burgeoning pumpkin patch, surrounds tuft-haired, dot-eyed Nell with smiling fauna and closes with a full-page scene of her embracing her candle-lit, misshapen jack-o'-lantern in the wake of BIG Mama's fulsome praise. —Kirkus Reviews
