When Penelope Mortimer's mother dies, she is sent to live with her father in a small town in upstate New York. Penelope is not happy about the move, but she soon finds a new friend in her father's dog, Pumpkin. One day, Penelope's father takes her to the market to buy some pumpkins. Penelope is not sure what to do with them, so she asks her father. He tells her that she can eat the pumpkin if she can make it go through the hole in its head. Penelope tries hard, but she can't make the pumpkin go through the hole. Her father is not happy, but he tells her that she can still eat the pumpkin. Penelope is happy to have her pumpkin, and she eats it.; 8vo; 222 pages.
