Critics Review
“Moulton and Good team up for a tender autumn story, written in well-turned prose…The gentle story is complemented by glowing, folksy illustrations rendered in watercolors and artfully enhanced with instant coffee and bleach. The simply drawn, wide-eyed characters; country setting; and warm palette echo Joan Walsh Anglund’s and Mary Englebreit’s cozy worlds. A final page, “Peter’s Guide to Growing Your Own Very Best Pumpkin,” is a welcome extension for at-home gardeners. -School Library Journal“The illustrations, rendered in watercolors mottled by instant coffee and bleach, are full of life and happy moments. The iconic symbols of the season—falling leaves, sprightly acorns, ripe apples—help provide an idyllic autumnal setting for the appealing friendship story. Readers will learn a lot about growing pumpkins along the way.” - BOOKLIST
