Pumpkin Moonshine by Tasha Tudor

"It's almost Halloween and little Sylvie Ann has found the biggest, fattest pumpkin. But before she can carve it into a giant, crooked-toothed pumpkin moonshine (or jack-o'-lantern), she has to get it home." (from the dustjacket)

Inspired by the adventures of Tasha Tudor's niece, this classic is just darling. The text is sprightly and the artwork so sweet. 

Obviously, the entire premise does revolve around All Hallow's Eve, but it doesn't delve more deeply into the festival beyond discussing jack-o-lanterns. Just an fyi, though, in case your family doesn't observe the occasion.

That said, a standby I've read for years, it's grown on me even more over time and this autumn ended up being one of my particular favorites. :) Definitely one I look forward to pulling out in the future as well!
