Being good is boring, and Duncan's not afraid of any old farmer. But someone else has been keeping an eye on the pumpkin patch. Skeerdy-Cat-Crow has been hanging on a pole all summer, and now he's hungry. He's heard nice little pumpkins are just right. But Mom knows a trick that will teach both Skeerdy-Cat-Crow and Duncan something new.

5.0 out of 5 stars A charming tale for both children and adults February 3, 2012

By Ginette Rennie

Format:Kindle Edition

Duncan the Punkin was a charming children's picture book, told from the point of view of..what else..a pumpkin! I loved how Scott Nicholson personified the pumpkins, and described what they have to worry about at Halloween. I read it with my eight year old son who was utterly charmed by the story as well as the illustrations. This is a wonderful children's book but I enjoyed the story just as much as my son did. Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and reading this as a bedtime story that night is going to be a tradition from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutest punkin ever May 28, 2011

By Angelscryhavoc

Format:Kindle Edition

It was the cutest book I had ever seen, Starting out as a warning to all pumpkins on Halloween and how to live longer on their vines. I read this to my daughter. She's six and she loved it so much I had to re-read it several times before she would agree to let it rest and we could move on to another one.

I think this a perfect story for young children and one that would even hold a fond memory for a parent to read to their child especially around Halloween.

As my daughter says " I loved it."
