![]() Informative enough with regard to how at many so-called do-it-yourself farms, people pick and gather their own produce (like the apples and pumpkins of the book title), there is nevertheless just not in any manner enough information, there is simply not sufficient depicted and described details that are of interest being textually shown in Apples and Pumpkins except truly just the very bare minimum. ![]() Honestly, while Anne Rockwell does (I guess) present a sweet enough little piece of basic and simple storytelling fluff about a family going on an autumn excursion to pick (to harvest) apples and pumpkins, there is really (in my opinion) nothing contained in either the featured text or the accompanying illustrations of Apples and Pumpkins that has in any manner managed to lastingly and truly wow or impress me (and no, even as a young child, I most definitely would have found Anne Rockwell's presented narrative of Apples and Pumpkins much too frustratingly lacking in verbal description and Lizzy Rockwell's artwork as too cartoon-like and one dimensionally stagnant, with especially the depicted facial features of both the family and the farmer feeling aesthetically devoid of even rudimentary and basic necessary expressiveness). ![]()
