Franklin finds a giant pumpkin in his backyard and is sure it will make him a winner at the Fall Fair. A blue ribbon seems close enough to imagine, and Franklin can hardly wait to show everyone what he has grown.
Then he learns that a huge pumpkin may not be useful for the contest he had in mind, and the fair’s rules are not exactly what he expected. Franklin has to face disappointment, rethink his plan, and figure out what to do when the thing he is proud of does not fit the prize.
Cheerful and seasonal, Franklin’s Pumpkin is a gentle early reader about fall fairs, big hopes, and learning that success can look different from what you first imagined.
