The Lumpy Bumpy Pumpkin

By Gail Fleming

A lumpy bumpy pumpkin feels alone, overlooked, and like no one cares about him. While growing on a vine in a garden, he sadly believes his special qualities have made him undesirable.

In an effort to be seen and chosen before he becomes too old, the lumpy bumpy pumpkin places himself in different spots so someone might give him a home. He sits on a porch swing and hides among the flowers. Nothing works until a teacher sees him sitting alone on the sidewalk and shows him just how special he is.

In this charming tale for little ones, a pumpkin who feels alone and unloved learns that everyone is unique and has their own special something to share with the world.
