Mrs. McNosh and the Great Big Squash

24 pp. | HarperCollins/Geringer | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-694-01202-5 $$9.95
(3) PS Harper Growing Tree series. Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. Slapstick humor and springtime colors enhance a rhyming tale about a squash that grows completely out of control. After the squash "crashed through the clothesline/ and smashed through the fence, / scaring the pants off two elderly gents," Mrs. McNosh gets the bright idea to pick the squash, scoop it clean, and turn it into a house. Good story-hour and bedtime fare.
