Having greatly enjoyed Tony Johnston's The Witch's Hat, an enchanting little magical tale that also features a witch, I was curious to see how I would like The Vanishing Pumpkin, published a year earlier (in 1983), and illustrated by the talented Tomie dePaola, who is also famous for his own witchy creation, in the figure of Strega Nona. This is quite a trippy-dippy little tale, and feels somehow more like a book from the 1970s, than one from the 1980s. The story itself is fun, and the artwork is amusing. I appreciated the use of words like rapscallion and varmint, and found the humor quite enjoyable. Recommended to Tony Johnston and/or Tomie DePaola fans, and to anyone looking for slightly surreal Halloween picture-books. ( )
