Description
Description
When his beloved jack-o'-lantern starts to decompose, Tim puts it outside and watches it transform from pumpkin--to seed--to pumpkin again.
The first pumpkin Tim ever carved was fierce and funny, and he named it Jack. When Halloween was over and the pumpkin was beginning to rot, Tim set it out in the garden and throughout the weeks he watched it change. By spring, a plant began to grow! Will Hubbell's gentle story and beautifully detailed illustrations give an intimate look at the cycle of life.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"One of the best fictional picture books to follow the cycle of a plant, this would be a good choice for reading aloud."--Booklist
"A simple, appealing selection for storytimes...Readers can hear the crinkle of old leaves, smell the earthy odors of the garden, and breathe in the crisp air of the first frosty day of autumn. Any child who has had to throw away a beloved jack-o'-lantern will appreciate this fine offering."--School Library Journal
"Hubbell's wholesome story offers hope to kids who can't bear to throw away their jack-o'-lanterns. Autumn brings pumpkins for everyone...the gentle premise and earthy pictures could spark a gardening project."--Publishers Weekly
