There's a Pumpkin in Our School

Within a small world of twenty-eight pages, set mainly in a snug, rural school house, the author has sandwiched in fluid rhyme, introductions to various holidays and, with humor and clarity, gently urges the young reader to discover more about the origin and impact of major historical events deemed worthy of the designation of 'holiday." Throughout the book, the illustrator has playfully pictured the holidays with the type of color and design that keeps the attention of whoever is turning the pages. Teachers, parents, and young readers/listeners will all find something to hold their attention through the playful artful additions that promote further exploration into the subjects and activities revealed in this small tome. No one will be disappointed with this clever treatment of the holidays all wrapped in a maze of color and whimsical drawings.
