Izze's summary: (She's pretending to be the pumpkin...)
No pumpkins quite like me.
I not getting picked.
I getting tricked!
I alone.
Trees are miling.
(smiling)
They they are throwing apples!
I cry...

OH MY GOSH!! I A QUASH!!
(squash)

I love this book's illustrations and simple, but not cheesy rhyming tone. It's a great story of not fitting in. We read it year round, not just at Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Izze loves: "OH MY GOSH!! I A QUASH!!!"
