Oh My Gosh...I'm A Squash!

Dave Horowitz created a great fall book - The Ugly Pumpkin.  The poor Ugly Pumpkin waited all October and into November for someone to take him home.  When he wanted a treat, he always ended up being tricked.  He was rejected by kids, a skeleton, and a forest of trees.  Finally, the Ugly Pumpkin leaves his patch and discovers who he is just in time for Thanksgiving!


I am the ugly pumpkin
as you can plainly see.
Of one hundred thousand pumpkins,

none are quite like me.
