It has been one of my favorites since childhood. This book goes into great detail with the illustrations explaining how pumpkins grow! This would be an excellent choice if you were doing a unit on Halloween or Fall traditions. The kids really enjoy the pictures! A fun activity to go along with this text would be to carve a jack-o-lantern with the class. This is also an easy text for most kids to relate to, as the characters have siblings and a family. Many children have also participated in carving a jack-o-lantern, so they can relate to the text in this way as well. Unlike any other halloween story, this halloween story is about a pair of siblings planning halloween in the Summer by planting their own pumpkins! They grow the pumpkins carefully, water them, pull up weeds, then finally cut them and make them into jack-o-lanterns. A very easy read with colorful illustrations. A nice halloween story without the typical scary undertone. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Published in 1994, It's Pumpkin Time! was the first of four picture-book collaborations between Hall and Halpern, of which I had already read one, The Apple Pie Tree. Having enjoyed that subsequent title, I picked this one up with anticipation, and was not disappointed. It's quite simple, and clearly aimed at younger children, but I appreciated the way in which the narrative shows the entire process whereby pumpkins are grown, rather than just the harvest time, which books of this sort often choose as their focus. In this sense, it was quite similar to The Apple Pie Tree, which was autumnal in feeling, but also covered the entire year in an apple tree's growth. The accompanying paper collage artwork from Halpern was colorful and appealing, in a folksy way. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for autumnal and/or Halloween stories. ( )
