Industry Reviews "Not many creation myths are as accessible to a young audience as this tale, and listeners will be intrigued to see the familiar old pumpkin cast in so unusual role." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush (06/19/1996)
"The story is told in a simple, lyrical style that will quickly involve young listeners in the myth. Sanchez's illustrations, done in acrylic and gouache, are alive with swirling color; his human figures, squat and thick, in keeping with the style of pre-Columbian art, have the round-eyed wonder and build of Roy Gerrard's many characters. A welcome addition to the folklore shelves." Brookner
