    Educational tool

    This is a great way to introduce pumpkins that are not just orange and round. I get a chance to bring in a cinderella pumpkin to a group of 4-5 year okdchildren. There are really a great variety of pumpkins. Links on request.

    Cute story about diversity!

    I was babysitting a little seven year old boy and his three year old sister when we watched this in tv. It was a great little story, entertaining, educational, and just plain adorable!! Even I coukdn't help but sit down and watch it! Also, unlike most little kid stories, it doesn't repeat a classic, and has a nice surprise ending even I didn't expect.

    Great

    This is a great book and for .99 you can't beat it! Better than the more expensive kids books I purchased recently.
