The Very Best Pumpkin

32 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | August, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-8288-3 $12.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Hillard Good. Young Peter, who lives with his grandparents on a farm, carefully tends a special pumpkin growing by itself in a nearby meadow. At the same time, a lonely girl moves in next door. Not surprisingly, the children's friendship blossoms in parallel with the pumpkin's growth. Unfussy illustrations in an autumnal color palette set an inviting scene and complement the rather bland text.
