Book Review: Vibrant illustrations and positive message make this a Halloween must-read!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Pumpkin Goblin Makes Friends" is a heartwarming story of a town bully (the pumpkin goblin) who through the power of friendship is made to realize the error of his past ways, and goes about making up for all his past 'terrorizing' of the town's kids on Halloween. You see, the Pumpkin Goblin never knew any different - he thought it was his duty to scare the kids on Halloween, steal their treats and return to the depressing bog where the Pumpkin Goblin makes his lonely home, his only companion being an old swamp frog. Then one Halloween, things change. As the Pumpkin Goblin gets ready to unleash himself upon the children of the town, he sees a forlorn looking boy, Fred, in a quiet playground. The bond that the pair eventually form acts as the catalyst that makes the Pumpkin Goblin realize the error of his past ways. Is it too late to redeem himself, and will the townspeople forgive him?
I loved the simple story by author Aaron Taylor that conveys the theme of bullying. It effectively conveys the message that bullying is not to be tolerated, and at times, extending friendship may be the best gesture to soften a hardened heart. The illustrations by artist Gary Whitley are vibrant and colorful, conveying all the colors and fun-filled, spooky activities that one associates with Halloween. The book also provides a weblink where activities can be downloaded for children.This would be a great addition to school and home libraries. A must-read for Halloween and highly recommended for ages 4-8.
