Pumpkin Eye

by Denise Fleming

Pumpkin Eye Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A Halloween story with just the right amount of spookiness for preschoolers.

It's Halloween night! The rising moon lights the way for trick-or-treaters and sets the mood for a spooky celebration where imagination rules. Award-winning author/artist Denise Fleming turns her talents to every child's favorite holiday.

Review:

"A jack-o-lantern stares from triangular holes: 'Piece of pie,/ pumpkin eye.' A brisk refrain quickens the pace: 'Trick or treat / pounding feet,/ eerie shadows/ fill the street.' Fleming (The Everything Book) kindles seasonal thoughts with concise couplets and handmade-paper images, in which vermilion and fuschia highlights glow like neon against grainy black and evergreen. Her pleasingly spooky visions of peaked roofs, pumpkins and trick-or-treaters convey an expectant atmosphere. Ages 2-5." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
