Pumpkin Day, Pumpkin Night
PreSchool-Grade 2-From the way leaves are changing color, squirrels are foraging, and schoolchildren are making paper pumpkins to decorate the walls, a young boy realizes that it's "pumpkin time." With great anticipation, the day comes to pick out his perfect pumpkin, take it home to carve, and make it glow as bright as the moon above. The child's delight heightens as he describes how his mother uses other parts of the fruit by roasting the seeds and baking a spicy pie. Rockwell's text is lively and rhythmic. Paired with Halsey's abstract paper sculptures that are full of striking color combinations and intriguing shadow play, it makes the perfect book to capture and keep the attention of young readers. An exceptional autumn offering that's sure to become a seasonal favorite.Betsy Barnett, Eads School District, COCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
