A little seed dreams of becoming a jack-o-lantern, but nature has other ideas in this delightful read-aloud about the origin of a "summerween" tradition-perfect for fans of Stumpkin or The Bad Seed. A young girl waits for Halloween, telling tales and singing songs of costumes, candy, and trick-or-treaters to the sprouts in the pumpkin patch. One seed in particular has big dreams: he wants to be the biggest, scariest jack-o-lantern of all!
But as time passes and new vines unfurl, he remains greener than all the other pumpkins in the patch. Even his Halloweeniest thoughts have no effect! Will this watermelon's dreams of pumpkinhood ever come true?
Will the girl be able to celebrate her favorite season with her star jack-o-lantern? And what happens when he's picked on a hot summer's day, months before Halloween?
