5.0 out of 5 stars Teacher need
As a teacher I bought this after hearing a first grade teacher read it to her students. Great book, even better with the audio tape with it (Available on YouTube). Recommend to all teachers and parents alike for the Halloween season!The book was great quality and has an almost sing songy read to it. Great book for younger kids!
5.0 out of 5 stars Childhood Throwback
I absolutely love this book. I had a copy as a child, but lost it somewhere along the way. I'm so glad I could get a replacement! The artwork is fantastic and it's a fun story for all ages.
5.0 out of 5 stars Classic for Halloween story time!
What a great story time read! With all the snazzy new Halloween books out there, sometimes it's easy to forget about those tried and true storytelling classics. Big Pumpkin tells a familiar story that's been done in different forms throughout children's literature. Seldom has it been done in such a fun format. This book is perfect for preschool and early elementary school story times. A spirited read will have your audience tugging and pulling along with you as the witch, mummy, vampire and bat try to get that pumpkin out of the ground! It's a bit long for the younger preschoolers, but the text flows so well and the rhythms are so spot on, that it will even work for them if the reader is willing to put in a little practice.The illustrations are great for group sharing, without being too scary. All of these scary creatures get to show their softer side as they end up at witch's house eating pumpkin pie. I am so glad this book is still easily available in hardcover. I think this is the third copy I've purchased and look forward to telling this one every year. If you haven't used Big Pumpkin in your story time, you are missing a great opportunity for Halloween fun!

The storyline of Halloween monsters working together in the hopes of having pumpkin pie is just so cute. The illustrations are adorable and really add to the story. My daughter has this book in her kindergarten classroom and she tells me it’s a big favorite with her students.I often buy this book as a gift.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic
Fond memories of reading this book to my son. This originally came with a cassette tape when first published and we played it every night before Halloween. The song can still be found if you search online for it. We gave this as a gift to let someone else carry in the tradition.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!
Wonderful classic read for children for Halloween with nice illustrations.
5.0 out of 5 stars Such a cute book

5.0 out of 5 stars 🎃👍🏻
One of my favorite Halloween stories from 1st Grade.
Parfait
Arrivée avant la date prévue et en excellent état. Je recommande à 100%
Perfetto per Halloween.
Acquistato prima di Halloween a mia figlia di 5 anni. Lo adora. La storia è semplice e simpaticissima. Ci si può divertire a interpretare i personaggi con voci diverse e la lettura diventa davvero divertente. Inoltre la ripetizione di alcune frasi ed esclamazioni durante tutta la storia è utile all’apprendimento della lingua. Io lo consiglio moltissimo.
Tronchante libro
Me encantó este libro por las onomatopeyas, trama y personajes.No solo para utilizar en otoño en el consabido Hallowe'en.
Sehr gutes Buch!
Dieses Buch ist spitze! :)Es werden einige Sätze im Verlauf der Geschichte immer wieder wiederholt. Dadurch ist es für Kinder sehr interessant, denn schon nach kurzer Zeit, können sie bestimmte Stellen des Buches mitsprechen. Eine sehr liebe und witzige Geschichte, die einem auch etwas über Zusammenarbeit lernt. Ich kann dieses Buch sehr empfehlen! :)
Love this book
