He is accompanied by Jack Pumpkinhead, a being Tip created out of wood with a pumpkin for a head, and a wooden Saw-Horse, both of whom were brought to life with the marvelous Powder of Life.

Mom's Review:
This is one of my favorite of the Oz books. The characters are some of Baum's best: Jack Pumpkinhead, the Saw-Horse, the Woggle-Bug, and my favorite, the Gump. The story moves along quickly and there are many delightful adventures and surprises.
