Pumpkin Fiesta
by Caryn Yacowitz Illustrated by Joe Cepeda
Old Juana is the pumpkin champion! She works long and hard and always wins the crown at the fair. Now Foolish Fernando wants to win. His problem is that he's both foolish and lazy. He dresses and talks like Old Juana, but he doesn't work as hard.... Parents and kids will love this funny fable, which combines a message about the value of hard work with engaging illustrations from Joe Cepeda. There's even a recipe for pumpkin soup!
