Too Many Pumpkins
This is such a great book. Not only will readers learn a lot of uses for a bumper crop of pumpkins--but, it teaches the values of sharing an abundance with others as well.
The Pumpkin Book
As a long (long, long) time STEM mom--this book is perfect for parents who want to teach a little science with the Halloween, pumpkin season. This is a wonderful book for homeschooling parents--or for parents of younger students wishing to supplement some of the usual, Autumn pumpkin basics from a science standpoint!
Pumpkin Soup
Sometimes. Things change. This is a wonderful book to use with younger children or younger gifted children who prefer patterns and are resistant to unexpected changes. It is also a really cool way to get the kids into the kitchen this fall with a pumpkin soup recipe to go along with the book!

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
I may be "dating" myself--but, who doesn't love Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin?? The book shown here follows the movie version that most of us "kids of the 70's-80's" watched every October. It's a great classic with a fun story that parents will love to share with the kids!
Pumpkin Jack
This is another wonderful, fall story for children who struggle with change. Families will follow Pumpkin Jack's life cycle--and will be able to work through the science and the emotions involved in watching Jack change from his Jack-O-Lantern wonder to a garden compost casualty of sorts. It also offers a number of STEM, supplemental pathways for families exploring composting, plant life cycles, and a garden ecosystem.
The Vanishing Pumpkin
I love the artwork of Tomie dePaola. Always. Strega Nona will always be one of my favorite characters! I think the quirky nature of this story--with the addition of some witches and wizardry make it the perfect October, pumpkin story.
Pumpkin Cat
What a wonderful story of a cat and a mouse working so well together to grow a pumpkin. This is a wonderful book to (again) teach young readers about teamwork and about a pumpkin's life cycle this fall!
Big Pumpkin
This is another fun, Halloween story that brings out a witch, a mummy, a vampire and a bat to solve a fall pumpkin dilemma. I used this story to create interest in baking a pumpkin pie from a minimally carved jack-o-lantern. Fun way to introduce brain-storming--and remind kids that being the biggest/strongest doesn't always solve a problem.
Where is Baby's Pumpkin?
The Itsy Bitsy Pumpkin
This is a short and quick book. My husband spent months calling our youngest daughter the itsiest of bitsiest--so The Itsy Bitsy Pumpkin seemed to make sense for us to check out! The story is geared toward babies and toddlers with only a few, sturdy board pages. It is a fun story for your littlest, Halloween "pumpkins".
