Mr. Hermit Miser doesn't like his neighbors, and they don't like him. But when a pumpkin vine sprouts in Mr. Hermit Miser's yard and makes its way into the neighbors' yards, but he wants all those pumpkins for pies ... well, what is he to do? With adventures in pumpkin-snatching, failed attempts at baking pies, and pumpkin goo everywhere, this tale about being neighborly in a not-so-perfect way will be an endearing autumn story for all the readers in your circle. This reprint of a 1949 classic adds some recipes, a poem, and a bit of pie-history as well. To find out more about Smidgen Press editions, visit www.SmidgenPress.com.
