A boy carves a pumpkin that becomes a friend. Well, it starts to smell bad and the boy has to set it out in the garden where he watches it decompose. Seasons change and when the snow melts, not much is left of the pumpkin. He does notice a new green shoot and he knows it’s a new pumpkin vine. He nourishes this vine and watches it grow until he can carve his new pumpkin.This is a great story for the changing seasons and the circle of life. The artwork is nice, but not special. The molded pumpkin picture was quite gross.My little nephew is not a patient person. He expects things in the moment he is in. He’s hungry, he must eat now. He is thirsty and there is a national emergency and he is screaming for water, now. Waiting for something is not in his nature right now. He watches Netflix and when he does see a commercial on Youtube, it drives him crazy. All this to say, that for a boy who lives in the moment, looking at something that takes a year to complete is boring for him and he told me so. “I know a pumpkin vine grows pumpkins’, he said, ‘why do we have to watch it in the story?” “This story stinks,” he said and slammed it with 1 star. It frustrated him and he enjoys pumpkins. We differ in our opinion of this.
