When farmers and pumpkin patch owners donate
their pumpkins to the zoo, the animals chomp, chew, play, and give
hearty hoorays for their favorite squishy squash!(goodreads summary)
Not only do we celebrate the fall season but these Zoo animals are enjoying a fall harvest feast as well. Farmers and families donate their pumpkins to the local Zoo on a Saturday morning giving the animals a special treat. They fill their tummies and play happily making Pumpkin Day an exciting event. The illustrations are bold, colorful and lively with lot's of new vocabulary words highlighted for readers to learn. On the last page it recommends finding out if your local Zoo accepts donations of pumpkins. I never thought about this before but it is a great way to help feed the numerous animals by reusing our pumpkins after Halloween. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.
