The ponies come up with a pumpkin variation on the old adage, "If life gives you lemons . . . "

Bland and cloying. Neither my daughter or I enjoyed this when she was six.

I don’t like the weird flaps on the side of this books. The story was fine.

In this book, the central conflict arises from two ponies wanting the same pumpkin from a pumpkin patch. Rather than fight over it, they go all Minnesota nice and are like, "No, no, YOU take it, I insist!!" Only in MLP would the tension derive from both parties being too generous! Don't worry -- it all works out in the end.

Natalie likes it because of the ponies, even though they aren't the Friendship is Magic generation. Story is just okay, and the flaps aren't anything special. The costumes using the pumpkins are kind of fun as is the reveal of how to share the pumpkin.

This is a cute story about Ponies, Halloween, and sharing. The illustrations are nice and quite colorful.

I hate to be cynical but couldn't there have been some conflict in the story! The ponies were too nice about splitting the desired pumpkin.
