The Littlest Pumpkin Summary
It’s Halloween and the Littlest Pumpkin dreamed about becoming a jack-o-lantern for a group of kids at a Halloween party. As the day went on, however, the kids picked every pumpkin at Mr. Bartlett’s farm except her. At the end of the day, the Littlest Pumpkin is the only pumpkin left and Mr. Bartlett closed the farm stand. Suddenly a group of mice appeared and they started to decorate the farm stand for Halloween. The Littlest Pumpkin found herself in the middle of a Halloween party, and best of all, she became a jack-o-lantern just like she had dreamed.
