Book Reviews of Pumpkin Moonshine

Book Review: Simple, old-fashioned story
Summary: 5 Stars

"Pumpkin Moonshine" is one of the first Halloween stories I can remember finding in my grade school library. The story is very, very simple, with beautiful artwork, which is probably why it was so captivating.

In the story, a little girl decides to make a "pumpkin moonshine," an old-fashioned term for what we in the US would call a Jack-o-Lantern or will-o-the-wisp. The girl finds a suitable pumpkin, but it rolls away down the hill, and havoc ensues!

A very nice touch is the artwork on the first letter of a word on each page. Tiny drawings weave their way around the capital letter, and subtly enhance the story.

One of Tasha Tudor's earliest published works, with her signature art style, this is book a real charmer. If you have pre-school or Grade 1-2 kids, both you and they will enjoy the story of the "Pumpkin Moonshine!"
