About this title

Review:

"When Possum sees 'the biggest, brightest, yellowest' moon shining down one autumn night, he decorates the grass with lanterns and berries and heads out to invite the mice, the crickets, Raccoon, Rabbit, and other friends to his 'Harvest Soiree.' This story is suffused with both the excitement and the contentment awakened at the sight of a full, luminous autumn moon." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Hunter's enchanting debut combines bewitching illustrations and a magical story that celebrates the beauty of autumn." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review
