Andy Shane and the Pumpkin Trick

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Abby Carter. In their second book, Andy and Dolores try (and fail) to stop neighborhood vandals from smashing the Halloween pumpkins on Dolores's front porch. The characters' complexity, revealed in simple text with natural language, is the strength of this book. Soft watercolor pencil and wash sketches outline the plot; spot art depicting potentially unfamiliar vocabulary provides an extra boost for beginning readers.
