FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. With looks different than all the others in the pumpkin patch, Ugly Pumpkin is teased by his peers and never gets picked throughout the whole season, but after he leaves the patch and heads out on his own, Ugly Pumpkin discovers that he is special in his own way and ends up becoming the star of a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration!

The Ugly Pumpkin looks different from the other pumpkins. He waits and waits in the pumpkin patch for someone to pick him and take him home, but he's never chosen. So he sets off on his own. Things go from bad to worse when it starts raining, and the Ugly Pumpkin begins to cry. He takes shelter in a garden that is full of squash, and that's where he notices, "Oh my gosh, I'm a squash!" Finally, the Ugly Pumpkin, who isn't a pumpkin after all, is welcomed by the other squash at their Thanksgiving feast, and what a joyful Thanksgiving it is! Dave Horowitz's delightful illustrations give this book the look of a classic, which it certainly is destined to become. A new twist on the "Ugly Duckling" story, this book teaches important lessons about belonging, acceptance, and self-worth.
