About this title

Review:

"A simple, appealing selection for storytimes....Readers can hear the crinkle of old leaves, smell the earthy odors of the garden, and breathe in the crisp air of the first frosty day of autumn. Any child who has had to throw a way a beloved jack-o'-lantern will appreciate this fine offering."

"One of the best fictional picture books to follow the cycle of a plant, this would be a good choice for reading aloud."

Booklist

From the Inside Flap:

The first pumpkin Tim ever carved was fierce and funny, and he named it Jack. When Halloween was over and the pumpkin was beginning to rot, Tim set it out in the garden and throughout the weeks he watched it change.
