Pumpkin Jack is a great book!!
Great story, loved the illustrations. I'm saving this book for October with my pre-K kiddos. Upon delivery last month, I showed them the front cover and showed them 2 inside pictures to get their interest up. They were so excited and are now asking each day, "how many more days until we can read Pumpkin Jack!"Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
