Too Many Pumpkins
 
 A fine harvest and Halloween story.   Kirkus Reviews 
 
The story and art brim with life and laughter, just as the kitchen spills over with treats.  Rebecca Estelle comes across as very real: cranky, generous, and willing to make the best of a bad situaion.  An excellent fall read-aloud.               Booklist
 

 

 

Comes A Wind

 

Altogether quite a hoot.  Kirkus Reviews

 

Get story times off to a rollicking start with this one.        Booklist

 

...this is a tall tale that will have young and old alike laughing out loud.  Yahoo!                 Amazon.com

 

If you’re focusing on weather or looking for an offbeat tall tale, this’ll be a breath of fresh air.    Bulletin of the Center for Children's Book

 

                                                                                                                                  

 I Could Do That: Esther Morris Gets Women the Vote

 

"White's carefully shaped text is amplified by Carpenter's folksy oils, which combine prim, period details and witty exaggerations. A well-crafted story that secures Morris a deserved place in the sorority of redoubtable picture-book heroines." -- Starred, Booklist


“Lively.” —The New York Times Book Review

"White's text vividly builds a larger-than-life character. Carpenter's sunny illustrations make the most of Esther's actual size (six feet) and inner strength. A rollicking good story." -- Kirkus Reviews

"
Carpenter's paintings, which combine Giselle Potter's grace with a slightly rough-hewn Western edge, are especially entertaining and effective at depicting Morris as a pillar of steadiness and calm."
