Mr. Pumpkin's Tea Party

(2) PS In this festive counting book, a debonair pumpkin-headed host welcomes guests to a fancy twilight banquet. Numbers are woven into a rhyming text that alternates guests' introductions ("Lady Nightshade brings three jars of jelly to share") with atmospheric elements ("While four swooping bats fly through the air") up until "the clock strikes thirteen." Elegant watercolor and ink illustrations conjure the party's spooky sophistication.
