The Best Prize of All: A Story About Harvest (Celebration Stories)

by SaviourPirotta (Author)

Synopsis

Linda has spent months growing a giant pumpkin for the Harvest Festival. She's sure she can win the prize for the biggest vegetable, but she's not the only one who wants first prize. When Linda's pumpkin is stolen the night before the competition, she's pretty certain who's responsible. But then some Eastern European refugees from the barracks on Linda's road provide the answer and they all celebrate a very special harvest festival. Introductory text explains the significance of the Harvest festival in the Christian faith and there is a full glossary of unfamiliar terms at the end of the story.

Media Reviews
'an attractive new series which manages to use lively, well-illustrated fiction as a back-drop for RE, Citizenship and PSHE without being off-puttingly didactic or preachy...a humane and thoughtful tale which offers plenty for children and teachers to think and talk about.' -- School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002
