Pumpkin Fun For Everyone!

I am a Home Schooling mother, that wanted something different for our mini lesson on pumpkins and I found it with "Pumpkin Hill". The illustrations were wonderful, the story was fun and educational, with a cool project in the back of the book that was perfect for our lesson plan. We read it at our annual pumpkin carving party and adults found it just as delightful as the children.

It is also a big hit with my 4 year old who loves the roly-poly pumpkins -- when she saw pumpkins at the supermarket for Halloween she said "behold, a golden avalanche", referring to the cascade of pumpkins in this book.
