Deborah Turney Zagwyn
Tricycle Press, 1997
Beautiful story that captures hearts
+ The Pumpkin Blanket
+ A precious story of generosity, caring, family togetherness.
I read this story to my grade five class and they loved it. The pictures are inspiring and the story is simply beautiful. We focused on the "gift" that Clee gave to the pumpkins. She was so selfless in her giving the quilt patches to save the pumpkin garden. My students certainly learned a good ...

Warm and cozy

What a warm and cozy book to read to the kids before going back to school. Filled with bright friendly pictures, this book will keep the attention of any child. A fun thing we did was ask the kids how do they know it is Autumn?!

Mouse's First Fall 2 reviews
Lauren Thompson
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2006
Charming Illustrations
+ It's Mouse's first fall season in Lauren Thompson's MOUSE'S FIRST FALL, and Mouse is pleased
My 20 month old loves this book and asks for it to be read again and again. She now uses the exclamations in the book - "hooray," "fun," "pretty." She is delighted that Minka plays hide and seek but leaves his tail sticking out for her to discover! "Hip, hip hooray for fall!"

Fall (Four Seasons Series)
Nuria Roca
Barron's Educational Series, 2004
Large and beautiful color illustrations on every page of this book—one in a brand-new four-volume series—will appeal especially to early grades boys and girls. Kids will also love having the simply written descriptive text read to them as they gaze at the charming pictures—and as they get just a little older, they’ll be able to read the text by themselves! Both words and ...

Great Pumpkin Switch (Orchard Paperbacks)3 reviews
Megan Mcdonald
Scholastic, 1995
Great for teaching writing!
+ The REAL prize pumpkin!
+ the great pumpkin switch
This book is a great tool to teach elements of writing. It includes great onomatopoeia, hyperbole, and fantastic descriptive language. It kept my 2nd grade students engaged and would be excellent for upper grades as well. It is also open-ended and has a great opportunity for a writing extension.

So often the poetry in children's books is strained and forced, but not this one. The language is very poetic and fun to read. It's the type of book that could really teach a child to love language. It is also a big hit with my 4 year old who loves the roly-poly pumpkins -- when she saw pumpkins ...

+ Fairly detailed book for early elementary children.
I used this book this semester while student teaching with a Kinder class. The kids really loved the illustrations, and the explanation of why the leaves fall. They were fascinated with the explanation of the pigment for red, yellow, and orange already being there. I'd reccomend it with older ...

Pumpkins don't need bite or Halloween to be charming!

As a grower of giant pumpkins, I take exception to the professional review which dings this book for not having enough "bite" and (heavens!) not even mentioning Halloween. Pumpkins are fun and so is this book. There is something inherently charming about a small town pumpkin festival, and this ...
