Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Appealing wordplay and autumnal colors lend warmth to this tiger tale. Peter, an orange cub with an upturned grin, wouldn't pick just any pumpkin: "Not a stumpy, grumpy pumpkin,/ but a sunny, sumptuous pumpkin." He chooses a bounteous specimen, carves it and wins a contest, for "Perfect pumpkins really do/ make perfect jack-o-lanterns, too." Serfozo's (Who Said Red?) stumbly, bubbly tongue-twisters complement Petrone's (Ducks in the Muck) adroit digital illustrations, which mimic paint swooshes of violet, harvest gold and orange. Peter is a charmer. Ages 3-6. (Sept.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Children's Literature
Peter, a tiger digitally rendered in a furry line and bright contrasts of purple, green, and orange, searches for the perfect pumpkin. Rhyming text has fun with the sounds of words including a few stretches for preschoolers ("Not some squat, lopsided pumpkin,/but a glossy lot of pumpkin"). When he finally chooses one, what will he do? Draw a face on it and with the help of his dad, carve a simply dimply, dumply face. While the pumpkin wins a prize at a county fair, it really doesn't need one. Isn't everyone's Halloween pumpkin a perfect jack-o-lantern? Young children will like the quiet story, the rolling words, and the friendly-faced tiger and his dad preparing for Halloween without any of the scary baggage that is so often present. 2001, McElderry, $12.95. Ages 2 to 6. Reviewer: Susan Hepler

School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-One of the most refreshing aspects of this book is that it provides a wonderful selection for storyhours that isn't full of the typical Halloween imagery. There are no costumes, ghosts, or witches, and the word "Halloween" is not even mentioned in the text itself. Serfozo tackles a subject that has been covered many times before-selecting a pumpkin and turning it into a jack-o'-lantern. However, this title is far from old and stale. Peter, a boldly rendered and engaging tiger cub, is on the hunt for the perfect "sunny, sumptuous pumpkin." He does not want a "lumpy, bumpy pumpkin" or a "stumpy, grumpy pumpkin" or "some squat, lopsided pumpkin,/but a glossy lot of pumpkin." Finding one that meets his standards, he and his father carve "a simply dimply, dumply face." The large, vibrant illustrations are a perfect match for this short rhyming story. A quick, engaging read-aloud that will be enjoyed at many fall programs.-Piper L. Nyman, Fairfield/Suisun Community Library, Fairfield, CA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
Marbles-in-your-mouth wordplay fun as a tiger cub searches for a prime pumpkin specimen. Set to color-saturated artwork, this piece of simple yet exuberant verse follows Peter as he selects from pumpkins lumpy and bumpy, stumpy and grumpy. And pray, "Not some squat, lopsided pumpkin, / but a glossy lot of pumpkin." Having scoured the expressionistic and very orange landscapes and located his perfect pumpkin, Peter is tempted to turn the beauty into "Pumpkin pudding? / Pumpkin fry? / Pumpkin salad? / Pumpkin stew? / What is Peter going to do?" What he does is shuffle home with the pumpkin and with the help of his father carve it into a glorious jack-'o-lantern. There is a soothing flow to this story as Peter moves from the hunt for the perfect pumpkin-endowed with the romantic, otherworld qualities of a quest through lambent and surreal scenery, where even the trees look like big, round pumpkins-to that most curious of symbols, the jack-'o-lantern, whose associations can be plumbed to a fare-thee-well. (Picture book. 3-6)

    Lovely story

    Got this as a gift for my little one, and she loved it. I'm now reading it to her almost every night and she's still as interested as on the first day.

    my children love this book

    I am the mother of two active boys- 2 and 1- and this is one of the only things that keeps them still. My 2 year old enjoys reading the book- he knows it by heart- and my 1 year old loves flipping through the pages.
