This is a straight-up fantastic read-aloud. It is so difficult to find great nonfiction read-alouds for storytime, but the rhyming and pictures were absolutely sublime. The preschool kids that I read this to were engaged and learned a lot about pumpkins (and their parents wanted to go home and plant some). Definitely recommend to storytime librarians and teachers to read aloud during the fall season and to parents looking for great informational texts to read to/with their kids.
