AlbakiReads Editorial

A Halloween pumpkin with one small difference

Stumpkin has the color and shape for a Halloween display, but no stem—and that difference keeps him from being chosen as a jack-o’-lantern. As Halloween approaches and the other pumpkins disappear, his story turns on whether he’ll get a chance to shine. The premise brings a familiar holiday ritual into a child-sized story about standing out and being overlooked. This edition is described as a board book.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8
  • Young readers interested in pumpkins and Halloween
  • Families looking for a holiday-themed picture-book story

Book overview

The belovedHalloween story about a stemless pumpkin who dreams of becoming a jack-o-lantern, from the critically acclaimed author and illustrator of A Hungry Lion, is now available in board book format!

Stumpkin is the most handsome pumpkin on the block. He's as orange as a traffic cone! Twice as round as a basketball! He has no bad side! He's the perfect choice for a Halloween jack-o-lantern.

There's just one problem--Stumpkin has a stump, not a stem. And no one seems to want a stemless jack-o-lantern for their window.

As Halloween night approaches, more and more of his fellow pumpkins leave, but poor Stumpkin remains. Will anyone give Stumpkin his chance to shine?
