Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin door Mary Serfozo

So this rating is based more on my children's opinion rather than myself (as all of my children's book ratings are except a few like the pokey little puppy which I don't care how much they like them...they aren't 5 stars)
Seth LOVED this book, we checked it out and rechecked it out and he still didn't want to give it back. He literally read it in the car on the way to the library. It has been 2 weeks so I think they'll let us have it again... :) I'd give it about 4 stars myself...

Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin door Mary Serfozo

American author Maria Serfozo and Italian illustrator Valeria Petrone join forces in this rhyming romp of an autumn tale, as Peter the tiger sets out to find the perfect pumpkin. A plumply, dumply pumpkin that's not bumpy or grumpy, but fat and fine. Once that perfect pumpkin has been found, Peter and his father set out to create the perfect jack-o-lantern...

Although I have encountered the artwork of Petrone before, in such titles as The Witch Who Loved to Make Children Cry, this was my first encounter with Serfozo. I found it charming, and think that with the rollicking rhyme, entertaining story, and cute, cartoon-style illustrations, Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin would make for an excellent read-aloud selection at an autumn and/or Halloween story time.… (meer)
