Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman
4.0
This is a timeless picture book to read as a family or classroom with everyone taking different voices. For ideas on how to read this book in the most fun way, listen to it being read on YouTube. Big Pumpkin is a jovial, non-scary Halloween tale for ages 4-8 highlighting how working together can create the best result.
PYP classrooms showcasing collaboration as an approach-to-learning would enjoy chuckling over the book. ESL readers will benefit from the repetition of 'It's big and it's mine, but it's stuck on the vine, and Halloween's just hours away.' Of course, the solution comes from a most unlikely source, highlighting the need to not make assumptions in decision-making and being open to trying new ideas from unexpected sources.
