"Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse" is an Oz short story written by L. Frank Baum.
Imagine having a Magic Picture that shows you everything happening in the fairyland of Oz! 🧚♂️ Ozma, the girl queen of Oz, uses it to spot two lost kids in a spooky forest. To the rescue comes Jack Pumpkinhead, a quirky fellow with a pumpkin for a head, and his trusty companion, the Sawhorse – a wooden wonder with a unique charm! 🎠🐴
Listen as Jack, with his ever-changing pumpkin head, and the Sawhorse embark on an adventure to save the hungry kids, encountering the quirky inhabitants of the western forest, including the feisty King Squirrel! 🐿️🌳 But things take a hilarious turn when Jack's head gets squished by a falling branch, leaving him headless!
Fear not, as Ozma sends the wise Wizard and the Cowardly Lion to the rescue! Together, they navigate through the forest, find a new pumpkin for Jack, and carve a friendly face. Will Jack Pumpkinhead be the same with his new head, or will the seeds provide him with gentle thoughts? 🤔🌟
