Editorial Reviews

The popular pup helps his owner pick out only the best gourds in Biscuit Visits the Pumpkin Patch by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, illus. by Pat Schories. Along the way, they run into friends from earlier Biscuit titles. In more holiday board book fun, Biscuit Gives a Gift finds the canine delivering Christmas presents. ( Oct.)

Publishers Weekly

Shades of orange, pumpkins and fall leaves let readers know that this board book might be appropriate for autumn and, of course, Halloween. Biscuit and his mistress are off to the pumpkin patch. They have a great variety of shapes and sizes to choose from. They eventually fill their wagon with pumpkins to carve and paint and perhaps use for pie. While at the patch, they run into Puddles, the kitten, and a new rabbit friend. This sturdy board book has a slight story with little tension. Appropriate for kids who may be getting ready for such an outing, but remember that pets are usually not part of the pumpkin patch scene. 2004, HarperCollins, Ages 6 mo. to 2.
