Pumpkin Day, Pumpkin Night

Written by Anne Rockwell

Illustrated by Megan Halsey

Walker Books for Young Readers (2001)

Jack-o-lantern faces are drawn on paper in anticipation. Baskets of apples fill the air with the crisp, sweet smell of fall at the farmers' market. A child finds a pumpkin that's just right. Soon it's carved (with mother's help), and set outside to glow in the starry night.
