Book Reviews of Pumpkin MoonshineBook Review: Delightful for Halloween Summary: 5 Stars
This is a primary book set in pre-1900s Connecticut. The lovely little story could prompt discussion about holiday traditions and life on the farm in the US. The illustrations provide an amusing and exciting crescendo. The teacher may want to use this book around Halloween as a seasonal story about scaring people, which is not a scary book at all. The book could prompt talk about what life in the US was like during earlier periods: When did this story take place? How can you tell? How was Halloween different then?
Book Review: Cute Story, Beautiful illustrations Summary: 5 Stars
My 2-year-old loves Halloween. We bought her this book in October to help get her in the mood, and she loves it! The story is very sweet and set in a much simpler time. I love how it took the reader full circle, so children can see where pumpkins come from and how they get to our porch in the form of a "pumpkin moonshine" - with a silly story in the middle about the runaway pumpkin. The illustrations are beautiful. This is our first Tasha Tudor book, but definitely not our last.
Book Review: Pumpkin Moonshine - 60 years later! Summary: 5 Stars
If you've never carved a "Pumpkin Moonshine" you've missed a wonderful part of Halloween. As a little girl, Tasha Tudors delightful story was a favorite of mine. My children grew up carving pumpkins, not into jack-o-lanterns, but into Pumpkin Moonshines. The "grands" now enjoy grandmothers love for the season and the wonderful "Pumpkin Moonshine" with the re-release of this beautiful little book to be loved by all.
Book Review: Pumpkin Sunshine Winners for All Summary: 5 Stars
As always, Tasha Tudor is an award winning writer/artist. Her simplicity and detail put her in a class to herself. Although this may have been written for children, adults cannot escape the wisdom, thoughts and fun of a much simpler life. May we find that wisdom in our everyday life now replaced with things, stuff and "must see".
Book Review: Kids will love this non frightening Halloween book. Summary: 5 Stars
My mother read this book to me as a child. It was out of print for a while, but this new printing is excellent. The illustrations (same as orginal version) are superb and the text is quaint but clever enough to keep the attention of small kids or new readers. Highly recommended for Halloween or year round.
