So Lulu decides to step in and help! Lulu's method is asking questions. So when Grandma tells what seems like a mundane story of an ugly pumpkin sitting in a field, Lulu asks: \"Why was the pumpkin ugly?\" Grandma's answer sparks Lulu's imagination, and she tells Grandma: \"That's not ugly! It's unusual!\" And the two are off on a storytelling adventure! With a little creativity and improvisation, together Lulu and Grandma spin a full, refreshing narrative about a pumpkin and a fairy godmother-as well as the nature of storytelling itself.
