Description

Poems from the Pumpkin Patch is a seasonal Halloween book that takes the child through thinking about a costume choice all the way to the end of the trick-or-treating experience. Each of these delightful poems is a story-like nugget that presents all of the Halloween themes that we have come to expect-pumpkins, black cats, candy, bobbing-for-apples, a haunted house, and a witch with a broken broom. For history buffs, an annotated bibliography at the back of the book explains the myth and factual compilations behind these Halloween themes. As in her series one and two, Loose Balloons and Where Do Balloons Land?, the author explains where select ideas originated for the writing of the poems.
