Pumpkin Time!

I added this book to my reading pile in July as an advanced reader copy, however it was about the same time I was adding a son to my children as well. Now that it is October and pumpkins are on the brain, I keep coming back to this little book and I wanted to share about it. While we have a few books in a pile for when we do a unit on pumpkins and pull out the preschool and kindergarten printables, this one is quite different.

Pumpkin Time! is about the growth and process of a pumpkin pie and it is one to really get the wheels turning in a preschooler, or early elementary students mind on where a pumpkin and later pumpkin pie comes from. The illustrations are attractive and with the right prompting this book could cause lots of dialogue and education jumping off points. Read alone, without a few things pointed out I think children might miss things, but as a teaching aid I think this book is very useful.
