The Pomegranate Witch

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eliza Wheeler. This neighborhood legend about the annual campaign children wage to pilfer the prized fruit from a pomegranate tree is wonderfully memorable thanks to Doyen's lively language and nimble rhymes. The tree's starkly different sister-owners, the Witch and the Kindly Lady, add a mysterious Halloween aspect. Wheeler's mood-setting ink and watercolor illustrations showcase both festive colors and small, clever details to great effect.
