The Purple Pumpkin

The Purple Pumpkin is the story of a boy and a very special pumpkin. Every fall, in the small town of Popperville, the population prepares for the Harvest Festival, where each year, one pumpkin is selected as the "Perfect Pumpkin"! Peter is determined that this year his pumpkin will reign supreme. The story of the Purple Pumpkin is a study in perfection and what it means to be perfect. It also addresses the issues children face as they grow up - like bullying. The book also helps children with their vocabulary and includes a glossary and challenge questions section to help aid in classroom discussions and student learning.
