Illustrated by
Valeria Petrone.
In rhyming, rhythmic text, tiger cub Peter searches for just the right "sunny, sumptuous pumpkin" in which to carve a "simply dimply, dumply face." The warm, bold illustrations perfectly suit this simple jack-o'-lantern tale. There are no other specific references to Halloween, making this a good choice for those celebrating the season rather than the holiday.
