review 1: This is a book about a rotten pumpkin written in 15 different voices; the voices include the pumpkin, all the animals that are eating the rotten pumpkin (mouse, squirrel, slug, etc.), the mold that forms in the pumpkin, and various other voices. The book is about what happens after you have carved your Halloween pumpkin and it is left outside to rot. It goes into a lot of scientific terms so kids really learn about how the pumpkin breaks down and basically disintegrates back into the earth.
review 2: THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR THE EASILY SQUICKEDI just wanted to get that out there and clear. The prose is serviceable. This book is all about how a jack o' lantern is reduced to compost, through the assistance of mice, squirrels, slugs, bugs, molds, and fungi. The phot... moreos are awesome if you enjoy seeing a mold up close. It makes me want to document the decay of our carved pumpkins, day by day.Perfect for those who enjoy the science of grossness.Library copy. less
