Review
What is the best part of Halloween? Pumpkin carving, of course! This book colorfully and vibrantly details the fun process of picking and carving jack-o-lanterns to showcase on Halloween night. With a rhyming beat, it depicts children carving pumpkins together, decorating their houses, and finally trying on their costumes for trick or treating. This cheerful and fun read is guaranteed to get children excited for Halloween. It also showcases many of the fun activities that fall can bring, prompting children to engage both with their culture and their community. Halloween is fun for everyone! Recommended Katie Korwan, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University, Cedarville, Ohio.
