Pumpkin Fiesta

32 pp. | HarperCollins | August, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-06-027658-4 $$14.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. Old Juana grows enormous pumpkins that always win her the "special pumpkin crown at the big fiesta each year." Her neighbor, Foolish Fernando, vows to learn her secret and capture the crown for himself. The warm-toned oil paintings contain flat but expressive figures. The book is both amusing and satisfying, competently executed, and good for read-aloud sharing.
Reviewer: Margaret A. Bush | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 1998
