In a companion to Five Little Pumpkins, the gourds (each with a carved jack-o'-lantern face) return. Yaccarino offers a variation on the popular nursery rhyme, counting from one to five with bold blue and orange Halloween- and harvest-themed art. But it's not ghosts that make the pumpkins anxious to roll out of town: "The fourth one said,/ ‘I don't want to be a pie!'/ So the fifth one said,/ ‘Goodbye!/ Goodbye!/ Goodbye!'?" Yaccarino offers just the right mix of humor and scares for the very youngest readers. Ages up to 4. (July) Copyright 2018 Publishers Weekly.
A spirited holiday board book based on the classic counting nursery rhyme features five adorable little jack-o'-lanterns who team up with their friends for spooky Halloween fun. By the creator of The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau. 100,000 first printing.
