Pumpkin Book Picks

#1. Pumpkin Pumpkin, by Jeanne Titherington


I love this book because the illustrations are beautiful and the story is simple. It's a great story to read before carving those pumpkins! It tells the story of a pumpkin from planting the seed to carving it. For more information and a peek inside this delight of a book click here.

Here's a cute poem to go along with this story. Here is an easy song to sing with it.

#2. The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything, by Linda Williams


I've never met a child who didn't like this book. It's illustrations are wonderful and the story is repetitious. It's spooky with a lovely ending. The children can interact with you as you read this book and make the sound effects of each of the sounds the lady hears. It's one of our family's personal favorites. Check this one out, you won't be dissappointed!

For an activity to go along with this book click here. I printed this out on cardstock, colored it, cut out the pieces, and had my son match them as we read. This worked great as a way to keep him engaged and focused. Here is an alternative version of the same pictures.
