All summer, Little Nell has tended the garden with BIG
Mama, BIG Sarah, and BIG Lizzie, and finally the
pumpkins are ready for Halloween. Her sisters choose
smooth, round pumpkins to carve, but Little Nell likes
a bumpy little one best. Sarah and Lizzie jeer, "It's
bumpy and little and ugly!" But Little Nell
perseveres. With help from her animal friends, she
scoops and carves it into a wonderful jack-o'-lantern!
This sweet tale shows that jack-o'-lanterns, like
people, come in all shapes and sizes, and that BIG
ideas and a BIG heart resound in even the smallest of
us.
