Don’t be fooled by the big orange pumpkin on the cover of No Presents Please (Roussan, $6.95, ages seven to ten). This highly original story by talented poet, painter, and award-winning writer Gwen Molnar isn’t just about the usual October 31st rituals. It’s about a “No Presents Please” Hallowe’en birthday party. When the birthday girl’s parents are called away on business and the Perfect Party Planning People don’t show, Sue finds herself in a real pickle. Luckily, the quirky jellybean-selling sorceress Mrs. Fixit arrives on the scene. mRb
