Lulu's method is asking questions. So when Grandma tells what seems like a mundane story of an ugly pumpkin sitting in a field, Lulu asks: \"Why was the pumpkin ugly?\" Grandma's answer sparks Lulu's imagination, and she tells Grandma: \"That's not ugly! It's unusual!\" And the two are off on a storytelling adventure! With a little creativity and improvisation, together Lulu and Grandma spin a full, refreshing narrative about a pumpkin and a fairy godmother-as well as the nature of storytelling itself. With its resonant theme that great stories are the result of genuine curiosity and dialogue, \u003ci\u003eThe Very Unusual Pumpkin\u003c\/i\u003e is bound to become a bedtime staple.","brand":"Marilyn Singer (Author), Maya Shleifer (Illustrator)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67602732187875,"sku":"9781662641015","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/3906\/6759\/files\/9781662641015-us.jpg?v=1790706124","url":"https:\/\/littleprofessorbookshop.com\/products\/very-unusual-pumpkin","provider":"Little Professor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
