Mr. Parkin is a pumpkin man. He tenderly nurtures his squashes and grows nothing else. So he's rather taken aback when a sprawling vine asks him to take it home. He's even more surprised when the crafty creeper demands entertainment--music and dancing and poetry. Mr. Parkin thought his was saving a wilting violet. Now it's Mr. Parkin who needs to be saved. A zany, clever comedy for young readers. Full-color illustrations.
