Editorial Reviews

Tasha Tudor's Pumpkin Moonshine provides an excellent Halloween story about little SylvieAnn, who finds the biggest pumpkin, then struggles to get it home. The Tudor illustrations are small but classic embellishments. Mary Pope Osborne's Kate And The Beanstalk (82550-1, $16.00) receives Giselle Potter's odd but appealing large illustrations as it provides a different take-off on Jack's beanstalk experiences. The woman's point of view both below and above the stalk makes for hilarious reading for kids with good reading skills. Mary Casanova's Hunter (82906-X, $16.95) benefits from illustrations by Ed Young as it retells a classic Chinese folk story of a hunter who faces drought as he struggles to help his little village. Hilary Knight's Where's Wallace? (83992-8, $17.00) provides a take-off on the Waldo theme as it tells of an outrageous orangutan who wants to see the world beyond his zoo. Black and white and color illustrations blend in this presentation.
