Here was my original review on Goodreads from September 2017:
I'm so glad we came across this (signed) book at our library (The American Library in Paris) ; this is one that I'll definitely be adding to our Halloween collection! It's simple, but seems timeless to me, because what better represents Halloween than pumpkins?! The story is sparse and the pictures are beautifully painted. I love everything about this book. 😍🎃

After discovering Pumpkin Heads, I purchased a copy of the book the next day for our home library. It continues to be a seasonal favorite of ours, so I was pleased to see that it was going to be reissued!

I received this book for an honest review. #NetGalley #PumpkinHeads
I love the graphics in this book. The story was cute. I enjoyed it.

I received an advance copy of, Pumpkin Heads by, Wendell Minor. I really love the illustrations in this book, they are so life like and real. Its a cute story about fall, Halloween, and pumpkins.

Pumpkin heads is a wonderful book to get your children ready for fall festivities. It has amazing illustrations that will make every child or student excited for Halloween!

The illustrations are nice, showing different kinds of Jack-o-lanterns.
The texts are simple, kids-friendly.
I enjoy reading this story.

I thought this book was very cute. My girls (4&8) enjoyed it as well. The pictures are beautiful. I would definitely want this on my kids bookshelf around Halloween time!

What a great Halloween story! Pumpkin Heads is a story about what happens to pumpkins when Halloween comes. It's a good story and the illustrations are wonderful. It was an exciting read and had me laughing more than once. I even thought about using some of the ideas in the book when I put out pumpkins next Halloween. I think that this story would be a great additional to anyone's Halloween collection!

I was awarded an ARC of this title in exchange for a fair review. I thank #netgalley, the publishers and Wendell Minor for the opportunity.

I really enjoyed the cover and found it quite inviting. The images within the book don't disappoint either. Judging by the language simplicity, I would pitch this book to preschoolers. It lacked any real plot, provided some loose facts and sweeping statements about the fate of 'all' pumpkins and had some ideas about what they turn into which was a false impression.

I thought the book could have been structured differently in parts and found as a result it was only average. 3/5 stars for effort.

The art in this book is insanely good! It totally feels like Autumn. I felt like I was looking at photographs instead of illustrations! Great book to get kids into Halloween, especially if they might be a bit scared of jack o lanterns.

This is a great Halloween book for kids. The illustrations are brilliant, I think some of them are actually quite creepy and scary looking. So possibly not the best for all young children.

I normally love reading at least one fall or Halloween themed book every fall, but when I saw the cover of this book, it instantly drew me in. I couldn't wait for fall, I had to request it immediately. It did not disappoint. The illustrations were absolutely perfect and a genuine delight, depicting all types of pumpkins: from a pumpkin-shaped hot air balloon to pumpkins in a haunted house and many creative things in between, this book just made my fall-loving heart happy. I've read many Halloween-themed children's books over the years, but this is definitely one of my favorites that I can see myself turning back to (with kids or without!).

Something about this book was very nostalgic for me. I loved the illustrations. There was a mild sense of spookiness to it, and mystery. The story is simple and describes the different kinds of pumpkins we see during Halloweentime. This could be a new favorite picture book for story time in the fall.

I enjoyed this story! I think the littles will like it, as well as early readers. The illustrations were wonderful, and there should have been more of them! Kids are going to enjoy looking at the variety of carved pumpkins in the story. It's a fairly simple read. It would make a nice Halloween gift, or addition to a Halloween collection.

It was fun to see the way that people grow pumpkins for the contest and to use as a boat .I liked the progression of the book to not have the pumpkin picked too soon. The pictures at the end of real events with the boats was enjoyable.

A perfect halloween read! Filled with fun pumpkins and just the right amount of halloween vibes. I really loved reading this and the artwork was just great!

*Thanks Netgalley and Charlesbridge for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

This is a children's book that I read to my twin boys. This is a cute and fun Halloween book for young children. I would say this is great for pre-k to kindergarteners. The pictures was very cute, and my boys laugh so much during this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Blue Sky Press) or author (Wendell Minor) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Cute book for Halloween. Children will love the pumpkin and jack o lantern illustrations. This will be a big hit for children.

One for schools and groups, this book shows us round the world of carved Hallowe'en pumpkins. With very little text it's going to only appeal for one or two Octobers at most, before a child's experience of Hallowe'en has surpassed what's on the page and they find this too simplistic. Where their experience comes into play, though, is with the incredible look of this book – the wonderful, wonderful hand-crafted art shows many great designs that you might like to experience making yourself. I think if any family were to keep this it would be as a sourcebook for potential pumpkin heads, then, for as an introductory lesson it didn't have the feel of being a keeper. Still four stars, tho, for the level of artistry.

OMG I Love Halloween & Pumpkins! The artwork illustrations were amazing and spooky. The storyline is all about different pumpkins and jack o' lanterns and how they can all be unique. I will definitely be picking up a physical copy up for myself and for my forever shelf. I can't recommend this book enough for kids of all ages. Thanks #netgalley for the review copy. I loved it!

Read this to my special needs 11 year old and he loved it. We love Halloween. Thank you for writing a cute kids book. Will recommend this book to his teachers and his friends.
