Review:
You know me... gearing up for spooky season as early as possible! Pumpkin Heads is all about picking the perfect pumpkin... because they often become heads. The book focuses on Halloween and the carving of the pumpkins into faces (and heads) and where you might find them peaking out.
The illustrations are beautiful full pages and showcase all the different ways you could carve a pumpkin. There are cowboys and witches and even more creative things like a pumpkin snowman - which I was very interested in and would love to try out.
The text was on the short side and very easy to read, it does not rhyme which I think is a blessing and a curse - with these shorter books I always feel like their should be a rhyming scheme for some reason, but that is just my brain being weird.
The illustrations really make this book. They are absolutely stunning and I would love to frame them all and display them. They are just enough realism and whimy brought together and I think lovers of Halloween and pumpkins will really enjoy this book.
