"A simple text with a lyrical rhythm describes a pumpkin in a garden, who unexpectedly whispers that he'll protect the yard from the 'foolies.' Lee's fragile watercolors cast an appropriately haunting aura to the strange proceedings".--Publishers Weekly. Full-color illustrations.
I don't quite understand this spooky Halloween book, but my 5-year old loves it. He insisted he was going to get it from the library every week for the rest of his life until I suggested buying it. It has added the words "stupefied," "albatross," and "foolies" to his working vocabulary. The story is a little confusing but it's got a good Halloween spirit and look to it.
