(3) K-3 Illustrated by Megan Halsey. A boy and his mother visit the farmer's market and choose pumpkins--small ones for a pumpkin pie and a large one for a jack-o'-lantern. The simple, cozy story is accompanied by equally simple colored pencil and paint on cut-paper collage illustrations. The final spreads use gorgeous color combinations as night (deep blue-black paper) falls behind the illuminated jack-o'-lantern and house.
