Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Pumpkin Moonshine

Book Review: Simple, old-fashioned story
Summary: 5 Stars

In the story, a little girl decides to make a "pumpkin moonshine," an old-fashioned term for what we call a Jack-o-Lantern. The girl finds a suitable pumpkin, but it rolls away down the hill, and havoc ensues!

A very nice touch is the artwork on the first letter of a word on each page. Tiny drawings weave their way around the capital letter, and subtly enhance the story.

One of Tasha Tudor's earliest published works, with her signature art style, this is book a real charmer. If you have pre-school or Grade 1-2 kids, both you and they will enjoy the story of the "Pumpkin Moonshine!"

Summary of Pumpkin Moonshine

Those who don't know the denouement to this more than 60-year-old classic by two-time Caldecott Honor artist Tasha Tudor will not be surprised to find a happy ending to this exquisite, gentle story. Tudor's delicate orange-framed watercolors of a rural autumn and a bonneted little girl speak to a softer side of Halloween--one that is not overtaken by werewolves, blood, and gore, but is a reminder of the season in all its fresh abundance. Tasha Tudor has over 90 books to her credit, including The Dolls' Christmas and Caldecott Honor book, 1 Is One. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
