Review quotes

'This is an incredibly sweet story enhanced by the softest, most beautiful artwork created in soft pastel, colored pencils, pastel pencils and graphite... Not only will children love learning about the lifecycle of pumpkins but they will also like searching for the elusive gnome. A nice story for autumn.'

- Youth Services Book Review, 5 stars

'Colorful illustrations and simple words in this utterly charming story introduce babies and toddlers to the joy of preparing for Christmas.' - Midwest Book Review
