Customer Reviews

My boys love Pumpkin Heads!

My 3 year old and my 20 month old both love this book! I checked it out from the library last year, and we had to get it again, because my 3 year old loved it so much last year. Now my 20 month old loves it to. They love to hear it again and again, The pictures are wonderful! I recommend this book!

Amazing illustrations!

This book has beautiful, amazing pumpkin illustrations. It makes you feel in a halloween mood just looking at them. My 2 year old loves this book. The text for each page isn't too long for his attention span, & he loves looking at the pumpkins. And this is a book I don't mind having to read him over & over.

Simple pleasure

This book is so simple that I thought it might be boring for my 3 and 5 year olds. But they really enjoyed it. Nothing annoying for the parent, much enjoyment for the kids. Simple pleasure.

Cool Pumpkins

Review: Pumpkin Heads is a really good book. It has the best illustrations I have ever seen. The book is all about pumpkins and what people do with pumpkins. I really recommend this book.

Wonderful Book!

What a fabulous story! I teach Kindergarten, and the librarian and I shared this book with the children as part of our ongoing pumpkin/jack-o-lantern web project. The illustrations are fantastic, and the rhythm of the text is terrific! The school library has a copy, but I bought one for my own collection! Don't miss out on this one!
