About this title: Humorist Liz Higgs offers parents a delightful way to share a Christian message with their children during the Halloween season. Higgs weaves a beautiful parable of how a farmer (Jesus) reaches down, picks out a special pumpkin from His garden, and scoops out all the messy goo to make room for His light to shine from inside.

"Just to make sure you don't miss the meaning of this book, the author has titled it "parable," placed a Bible verse on every single page, and directly stated the meaning at the end of the story. The author, apparently, wanted to make sure nothing was left up to the child's imagination, which is probably why both of my children seemed to find this "alternative to Halloween" book boring."
"This is a nice alternative to the typical Halloween fare, especially helpful if you avoid celebrating that particular holiday. It illustrates spiritual truth through the example of the "Jack-o-Lantern"."
"This is a really cute story that can be read for Halloween without being scary at all. It goes through what a farmer has to do to grow a pumpkin and then make it into a jack-o-lantern for Halloween. On each page there is a Bible verse quoted (in very small type, I didn't even read that part to my son for fear of my losing his attention from the story) that talks about growing, seeds, lights, etc. that is explored in that part of the book. I read this the same day as I heard on the Christian radio station I listen too about how jack-o-lanterns can be seen as a model of how Christ lovingly plants and grows, scoops out the slimy stuff, and then gives us a smile and lights us from the inside out. I don't remember hearing this before this year, but I will definitely keep it in mind (and maybe insist on making a jack-o-lantern) from now on."
