Sam the First Christmas Pumpkin: Sam Meets Santa Claus

By Jo-Ann Banach

Sam, The First Christmas Pumpkin relates the tale of a talking pumpkin, and how he ventures to outlast his traditional role for Halloween, to become a symbol for Christmas.

Sam, narrates the story. In his first days on his owner’s porch, he contemplates his eventual fate as pumpkin pie. Not long after, costumed children, hoping for candy, visit his home. With the arrival of Thanksgiving, Sam’s thoughts again return to what he believes to be his destiny as a dessert to follow turkey dinner! Luckily he is spared and allowed to spend more time on the porch, where it gradually gets colder and colder. Almost magically, Sam’s orange hue begins to grow greenish! Seemingly spellbound, Sam’s owner sees, his new transformation, and suddenly realizes his new color portrays an ambiance of magic and complements the customary décor of Christmas . . . Colorful illustrations compliment the action and scenery narrated by Sam. Sam the First Christmas Pumpkin and Sam Meets Santa Claus seek to portray the accompanying holidays, and the different ways we can share them.
