From the reviewers:

"Rockwell and Halsey have caused an engaging picture book to evolve from their celebration of a simple childhood joy." -Booklist

"A boy is in pursuit of the perfect pumpkin...with his mother handling the knife, they craft a fine jack-o'-lantern that glows mysteriously in the night. Halsey's pretty paper sculptures give the story visual snap, with their intriguing shadow play and sharp relief."- Kirkus Reviews

"The final spreads use gorgeous color combinations as night (deep blue-black paper) falls behind the illuminated jack-o-lantern and house." -Horn Book Guide

From the publisher:

From drawing jack-o-lantern faces to choosing a pumpkin and carving it, this treasured childhood ritual is joyfully captured in an accessible and lively book.

Look for the other Rockwell/Halsey titles!
