"...The tale could be broken up into a classroom read aloud or independent reader for second or third graders. Nice change of pace from the more common Halloween spooky story for kids." ~ Barbara Mojica, children's author
"...Gorian is superb in her usage of descriptive language. Readers are transported with the family and Rosco to the pumpkin patch. Readers can visualize the autumn leaves and fall crops of corn, pumpkins and apples. Young readers will be delighted by all of Rosco’s antics. The illustrations are well done and add to the enjoyment of this tale." ~Beverly Ann McCall, Amazon reviewer
"Rosco's antics had me smiling. He may be a rascal, but he always means well, and he always tries his best to behave for his owners." ~Amazon reviewer
