Katie goes on her school field trip to a pumpkin patch ready to pick the perfect pumpkin, but in sad when her classmates tease her for her pick. Her father cheers her up by helping her make a treat for the whole class.

At a school trip to the pumpkin patch, a little girl searches for the perfect pumpkin. All the children pick different kinds of pumpkins. One little boy points out that the girl's pumpkin is really small and suggests that it is a bad pumpkin. When she discusses this with her father, he points out that small pumpkins are perfect for making pies! Together, they make a pie and she takes it to school and shares it and the little boy who had criticized her pumpkin the day before, agrees that it was in fact, a perfect pumpkin ( )
