Summary: Not your ordinary Halloween story
Review: A delightful lesson in what to do when life hands you too many pumpkins -- and you hate pumpkins!! In no way preachy or ponderous, this book shows what happens when you ignore a problem, and has lovely ideas of how to make the best of a bad situation, how to share and give to others.Too Many Pumpkins is well-written, entertaining and fun to read aloud.

Summary: An excellent story about a hated food which brings joy.
Review: As a child, Rebecca Estelle's family spent a month eating
pumpkins when they couldn't afford anything else. Afterwards, Rebecca Estelle swore she would never eat, or
even look at, another pumpkin again. "Until..." fate

Summary: Too Much Fun!
Review: Linda White shows a side of life that people do not often see nowadays--the optimistic approach to life. What do you do when your childhood experiences have led you to, quite frankly, hate pumpkins, and through an odd twist of circumstances you end up with a houseful of them?! Make the best of it! Too Many Pumpkins is a wonderful (and educational--watch the seeds grow!) Autumn/Halloween book without the spooks and goblins that aren't always suitable for a bedtime story. This is a delightful read with beautiful illustrations that your children will love, and you won't mind reading it "just one more time." Go ahead--read it with your little Pumpkin...and then bake a pumpkin pie together.

Summary: Love the Pumpkins!
Review: My 3 year old daughter loves this book! We currently have it checked out of the library, but may have to buy it for ourselves. She love "Errebecca Estelle" as she calls her, and got a huge kick when I made pumpkin muffins yesterday. Great story that she will enjoy for years!

Summary: Pumpkins Galore!
Review: Rebecca Estelle has a problem on her hands. Rebecca Estelle is a white-haired woman who lives with her calico cat Esmeralda. She hates pumpkins because when she was a youngster her family was poor and ALL they had to eat was pumpkins. She doesn't even like to think about them. One day a truck loaded with pumpkins loses a pumpkin that smashes in Rebecca Estelle's yard and sends seeds flying every which way. When plants spring up she refuses to tend to them and just ignores them all summer long. She won't even go over near the space where the pumpkin smashed. In autumn, much to her surprise there is a huge pumpkin patch just filled with beautiful big orange pumpkins. At first she is horrified. There is a SEA of pumpkins! She uses her clever ingeniuity and her practical good sense to figure out a wonderful way to not only use up the pumpkins, but to attract many people to help her share the pumpkins. She ends up with a delightful party atmosphere, sharing a happy Halloween and she patches up her differences with pumpkins. The illustrations are utterly charming, brightly colored and filled with warm and homey country scenes. The feeling of autumn's hazy nostalgia and the wonderful aromas of harvest baking almost leap up out of the pages. Parents will enjoy reading this one every year at Halloween and the kids will love it for years to come.

Summary: DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT THERE ARE PUMPKINS OUT THERE
Review: Rebecca Estelle hates pumpkins. NO, reaLLY? The old woman doesn't use her front door anymore and keeps the front house windows' curtains closed--because there are PUMPKINS OUT THERE. Sounds like a real nut, huh? My grandmother grew up during the Depression, and all she had to eat was bananas. She just doesn't care to eat them anymore, but she wouldn't hide in her bedroom if someone put some in her kitchen. This book is cute as heck, and my little sister adores it. We love pumpkins, which is why we like this book-about someone who hates them. Sure, so the fact that making a bunch of cakes and pies from the front yard pumpkins seems easier than just delivering them is a little nerdy, and even more so is the idea that people would just show up at her front door to eat them because she put a bunch of jack-o-lanterns in her front yard--But hey, it's a children's book, where quality is supposed to be derived from such inanities. It's just that this book is not odd enough to make some of these lamenitties;) work. Overall, this book embraces an endearing absurdity perfect for the little pumpkin book lover. I recommend it.

Summary: My favorite fall book
Review: The story AND pictures in this book are outstanding. The story's rich character, Rebecca Estelle, comes to life on the page with Megan Lloyd's beautiful illustrations. If you love pumpkins and fall this book is a must have! I love it so much I read it over and over again all year...not just in the fall. However, I ALWAYS share it with my first graders in October and they love it as much as I do! A hardback edition is available from the publisher.

Summary: Love the Pumpkins!
Review: This book is about a woman named Rebecca. She hates pumpkins, because when she was little, that is all she ate for a month was pumpkins. Her well planted garden has everything BUT pumpkins. One day, a pumpkin truck went speeding down her road. The truck made a sharp turn and a huge pumpkin fell off the truck, and into her yard. After cleaning it up, Rebecca forgot about the whole incident. The following year during spring, Rebecca went outside to find that the pumpkin smithereens the following year had caused more pumpkins to grow. Soon, a mass amount of pumpkins is growing in Rebecca's yard. I liked this book because the ending is not what you would expect. To find out what happens to Rebecca, read this book.
