While visiting her grandparents' farm, Sylvie Ann finds a fine large pumpkin for Halloween but it leads her a merry chase as it rolls faster and faster down the hill and into the barnyard.
1 is One by Tasha Tudor. Published in New York by Henry Z. Walck in 1956. Copyright not renewed. Miss Tudor has made this counting book as a companion volume to her "A Is for Annabelle." With flowers and birds, small animals and fruits she has decorated her pages and illustrated the numbers from one to twenty. The delicacy of her colors and detail of design give an old-fashioned flavor to this book for the youngest. Recommended for ages 4 to 8. Tasha Tudor (1915-2008) was an American illustrator and author of children's books. Tasha Tudor illustrated nearly one hundred books, the last being Corgiville Christmas, released in 2003. Several were collaborative works with a New Hampshire friend Mary Mason Campbell. Tudor lived in Marlboro, Vermont in a house copied from that of other New Hampshire friends Donn & Doris Purvis. Her son Seth built the replication and lives next door with his family. It is documented in Drawn from New England, and in The Private World of Tasha Tudor.
An old fashioned little girl knows Easter is coming when her mother makes her a new dress and bakes hot cross buns. She dreams of lambs and ducklings, and when she wakes it really is Easter, with coloured eggs in a basket and a real bunny to cuddle.
