Suggested Children’s Books about Pumpkin

We’ve been on a search for the very best children’s books about pumpkins.  So after piles and piles of library books, here’s the scoop on what we think are the very best and most accurate.  We find that children’s books don’t always stack up equally when it comes to getting the details right…but these do that well and will be interesting to kids.  We encourage you to read some of these books with your students before or after your field trip to reinforce the concepts they’ve learned.
