'Too many pumpkins' is a famous Halloween book for kids that has been
beautifully expressed by Linda White and superbly illustrated by Megan
Lloyd. The main character in this story is Rebecca Estelle; a white
haired woman who hates pumpkins and it is these pumpkins, around which
the whole story revolves. Rebecca as a young child, grew up eating only
pumpkins, as her family was very poor and she got virtually so bored and
fed up with this vegetable, that now neither she eats nor does she
plants pumpkins.
But one day, it happened that a truck loaded with pumpkins passed by
and by chance one pumpkin fell into Rebecca's garden and its seeds got
scattered all over, giving rise to pumpkin plants. It seemed like a sea
of pumpkins. It was then that she gave up her enmity with pumpkins and
decided to throw a Halloween party, in which she shared her pumpkins
with all. Well, it's a nice humorous story that is enjoyed by children
of all age groups.
