I remember reading the adventures of these mice by the seaside, but I never read this one which is all about a pumpkin, so of course when I glimpsed it at the library I had to borrow it. Perfect to heal one's heart after finishing Assassin's Quest, this picture book shows a family of mice growing a pumpkin through all kinds of weather, watching it grow and cooking delicious food once it's ripe. It's about cycles and nurturing what's important (yes, pumpkins are important).
