Even though it’s a short board book, my Three enjoyed it. We liked seeing the seven pumpkins that Mouse and Dog carve. This is a very quick read from the creators of the “If You Give…” series. It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!by Laura Numeroff Children explore the different kinds of pumpkins they find in a pumpkin patch, making this the perfect book to read right before a field trip to a pumpkin farm. This Step Into Reading book makes a quick, enjoyable read aloud. The text is in different colors on different pages, which was distracting, but overall it’s a good book.
Seed, Sprout, Pumpkin Pie, by Jill Esbaumįor some reason my Three didn’t like this book, but I love the bold illustrations and the information about a pumpkin’s life cycle as well as the many different uses for pumpkins. The book teaches quite a lot without getting into too many details.
This is a Level 1 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, which is just right for preschoolers who enjoy listening to long (but not too long books). Rebecca makes the most of it, and we love what happens next. But after growing season she’s astonished to discover a whole garden of big, beautiful pumpkins. So when a truck accidentally drops a pumpkin in Rebecca’s garden, she won’t even look at it. Now a white-haired older woman, she can’t bear the sight of them. When she was young, Rebecca’s family was so poor that they ate pumpkin after pumpkin. This is our very favorite from this list, and one all five of my kids (including my eight-year-old) will come over to listen to. I love how the two mice become friends and find a solution that makes them both happy. One can’t wait to bring the pumpkin to the county fair, while the other wants to make it into a giant jack-o’-lantern. During the day, the village mouse carefully tends the pumpkin – and at night, the field mouse does the same. Two little mice, a village and a field mouse, both have their hearts set on a beautiful pumpkin. The Biggest Pumpkin Ever, by Steven Kroll
To go along with the activities in our Fall Theme Pack, I’ve been reading countless pumpkin books to my preschooler to come up with the ultimate list for preschool and kindergarten. Looking for pumpkin books for kids? This is the ultimate list!
