It.. submitted by readingqueen76 on June 17, 2014, 6:12pm It was awsome.

Nicely done children's book submitted by clmcdl on July 1, 2014, 10:40pm I read this with our 4 year old neighbor, who really enjoyed the wonderful illustrations. She had a few questions about what happened to Bernice, the squash - but it was handled quite gently by the author. We'll read it a few more times before returning the book. Be sure to check out the illustrations on the inside front and rear covers - they are adorable!

We love that story submitted by hyejinkim on July 22, 2015, 12:16am My 4 years old son love this book. He asks me to read again again, and again..
It is so lovely story

Unexpected twist submitted by willow on August 31, 2016, 8:48pm This book was not at all what I thought it would be -- it was, in fact, very charming and contained an unexpected twist: Sophie making the squash her pet!

Loving but sensible parents depicted, with a very satisfying ending.

Pet squash? Why not? submitted by FordAlpha on August 14, 2018, 9:47pm This is a sweet, quirky tale of a young girl who adopts a butternut squash as a pet. I love Anne Wilsdorf's illustrations, and the story has a sensible message for both kids and parents without being at all pedantic. The ending is great (awww! baby squash!); I just hope Sophie's parents don't get too strong a craving for butternut squash soup . . . mmmmmmm yummmmm
