Awards🏆Nominee (2008) - Washington Childrens Choice Picture Book Award - (Picture Book)Contributor(s):Author: Denys CazetIllustrator: Denys CazetWhen he was alive, Mr. Wilkerson was an ill-tempered, disagreeable, sour, and impatient old man. Once he died, he got better. But not much. Now he is back and very, very hungry. When Jack and his grandma move into the old Wilkerson house, they find out just how hungry, and why. At least they think they know. It has something to do with pie. A perfect pie. Review citationsKirkus Review - Children / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 1023 - 09/15/2005Kirkus Review - Children / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 1023 - 09/15/2005Kirkus Review - Children / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 1023 - 09/15/2005Kirkus Review - Children / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 1023 - 09/15/2005Kirkus Review - Children / Highly Recommended - pg. 1023 - 09/15/2005Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 78 - 10/01/2005Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 78 - 10/01/2005Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 78 - 10/01/2005Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 78 - 10/01/2005Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Highly Recommended - pg. 78 - 10/01/2005Publishers Weekly - pg. 63 - 08/01/2005School Library Journal - pg. 109 - 10/01/2005Ingram Childrens Advance - pg. 50 - 10/01/2005Booklist - pg. 54 - 10/15/2005Hornbook Guide to Children / Recommended - pg. 24 - 01/01/2006Hornbook Guide to Children / Very Good - pg. 24 - 01/01/2006Hornbook Guide to Children / Recommended - Readable - pg. 24 - 01/01/2006
