Top 5 Pumpkin Books

I was looking for a list of pumpkin-themed picture books to post on The Mailbox® Facebook page, and I couldn’t find one that consistently had good solid choices. And I certainly don’t want to recommend books that I consider to be a bit “meh”. So I decided to make my own mini list of pumpkin-themed books. In my totally subjective opinion, these are the best of the best. What do you think?

Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubbell

 

 

 

The Runaway Pumpkin by Kevin Lewis, illustrated by S.D. Schindler

 

 

Too Many Pumpkins by Linda White, illustrated by Megan Lloyd

 

 

Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman, illustrated by S.D. Schindler

 

 

 

Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper

 

 

*The Runaway Pumpkin and Big Pumpkin are both illustrated by S. D. Schindler. Consider reading both books and encouraging students to compare the illustrations. How are they different?
