Synopsis

Fanni paints a big pumpkin. She cuts eyes and nose and a mouth with sharp teeth in the pumpkin and puts on the pumpkin head. All the animals around her get scared and run away. Fanni must admit it is no longer fun to be a pumpkin monster when you are all alone. But fortunately, Dragon has had the same idea and has put on a pumpkin head. Fanni knows there is no reason to be scared.

Our editor felt sincerely happy. Thank you very much for your creativity and work. Somewhere in the world, there is a child who is happy because of reading your series. It is a very remarkable achievement." – (Note to the author from her Chinese publisher: Beijing Yutian Hanfeng Book Co., Ltd)
