Link Du Jour: 5 Children’s Lit Jack o’ Lanterns

Sometimes you have to ask “Why not?”

As in, “Why not stroll in at the last second with five examples of children’s lit jack o’ lanterns?”

Since I can’t give a good reason to the contrary, let’s take a look at some pumpkins:

1. Harry Potter

Bonus points here for getting the lightning bolt scar to show up well.

2. Tigger

This makes my spider jack o’ lantern look pretty bad.

3. Where the Wild Things Are

Dang. I repeat – dang. This one uses the jack o’ lantern equivalent of woodcut illustration with impressive results.

4. Fone Bone

The most unexpected on the list? I’d say so.

5. Twilight
