Pumpkin Town!: (Or, Nothing Is Better and Worse than Pumpkins)

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-618-60569-X $16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pablo Bernasconi. After pumpkin farmer José and his brothers toss some leftover seeds into a field, the seeds blow into the town, where they take root--and pumpkins take over. This big-hearted tale about doing right by other people is morally instructive without being preachy. The innovative collage and found-objects art features a cast that resembles Muppet people sporting human-hair wigs.
