Illustrated by
Shawn Shea.
Each year the Pucci family sallies forth, searching for the most important ingredient for their pies. They try several varieties: all are good but not super. Finally they find the best, right in their own back yard. The caricatured illustrations match the exaggerated superlatives describing the perfect pumpkin. Pumpkin facts and a pie recipe are included.
