Our community is insatiable when it comes to fall books, so even though this one is a little bit slight I know it'll get checked out like crazy.
The artwork at first looked a lot like Richard Scarry's work, but other than that the book just wasn't for me.
I mean it was good, but not great, Really cute visually, but the plot and writing is very average, love the cute pictures, thought it was weird that the kitty was more upset that she thought people were mad they got pumpkin guts on them, than the fact her pumpkin fell and broke before the fair! The difficulty of hard work not going as planned and the pride of turning to someone you battled previously.
