review: Editorial Reviews Review "Marla Little's pumpkin is rolling away! Can she catch it before it's gone forever? Readers both young and young at heart will delight in this lovely, whimsical tale ." - BookBub "This book combines patterns with some classic onomatopoeia to create a very silly story that your kids are sure to enjoy. And it's perfect for the whole season! While a lot of fall books stick strictly to Halloween, this includes the sights and sounds of fall itself -- which we love best of all." Book Nook NYC "Being a seasonal book, it is safe to say this won't likely get worn out, and may even become a seasonal tradition - likely in my house to say the least! A winner for sure! " -ErmaReads "It makes a wonderful bedtime story , one that's perfect for these chilly autumn nights." -A Southern Girl's Bookshelf " A wonderful Thanksgiving read. Good chefs often say "the simplest dishes are the hardest to make well." I'd say the same goes for stories. Leave it to great storyteller Junia Wonders and her talented illustrator Daniela Volpari to turn a simple story of a rolling pumpkin into an exciting tale and a visual treat. The artistically laid out texts, the short but emotion-charged dialogue and the beautifully drawn pages that flow so seamlessly one into the other, will keep your young ones enchanted and caught up in the chase. [...] every child can benefit from learning the universal message the book teaches: helping each other and sharing your rewards ." -Joseph Yu, Reviewer "Read it to my granddaughter and we just loved it . We made it a game while reading. Try and remember who was running after the pumpkin and how many. Good fun and a teaching book ." -Lucy Garcia-Storey, Reviewer " Gorgeously illustrated book! A pleasure to go through. In its simplicity, it is brilliant!" -Ina Ana, Reviewer " Great for beginning readers . I love the repetition it helps to keep her interested. My daughter like the catchy tune and it is a great time to read this during fall." -Daine, Reviewer "I love it when books for kids have one or two parts that are repeated so kids can participate in the repetition. Beyond that, it's a lovely fall story with great illustrations about a pumpkin! Lovely, lovely, lovely! " -Virginia, Reviewer " My class certainly enjoyed this rollicking adventure of a little girl and her pumpkin! We think you will enjoy it, too." -Babs, Reviewer " Award winning story and art that belongs in every young person's library. This is an award winning quality children's book that will entertain young and old alike . It belongs in everyone's library and I imagine that it will soon sit in libraries across the world awaiting readers. I found the illustrations to be outstanding and the story as much so. Five stars for this wonderful book." -Reynold Jay, Reviewer " This Might Possibly be an Instant Classic [...] This was a clever story written in a manner that may well render it timeless, as it evokes classic tales that will leave you feeling nostalgic . That brings me to the artwork. One word comes to mind when describing Daniela Volpari's art: quintessential . [...] The story and art, together with the professional book design ranks this title up there with the best of the bunch. Highly enjoyable." -Daniel Middleton, Reviewer
