Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS?Five Little Pumpkins repeats the well-known fingerplay. In Yaccarino's illustrations, garish orange jack-o'-lanterns with stark black eyes are accompanied by a blankly staring white ghost and a black cat. Although this short poem has been a perennial favorite of the storytime set, some children may find these faces frightening rather than appealing. In Wrapping Paper Romp, Plecas depicts a cheerful, round-faced toddler in orange pajamas tearing apart a colorfully wrapped present as a cat paws at a bow. Hubbell's rhyming couplets will hold youngsters' interest as they recognize the peek-a-boo game that the main character plays with the kitten behind the purple tissue paper. Skip the pumpkins and romp with the tamer of the two.?Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA

Come roll with the pumpkins and their friends as they get into some spirited fun!

SO SIMPLE, YET SO ADORABLE!

SO SIMPLE, YET SO ADORABLE!
To be honest, there is not much to this sweet little board. That being said, there's something endearing and adorable about it. It's only a few pages, takes a minute to read, but it's a sweet little rhyming book about the Five Little Pumpkins.This is a very sturdy board book. It's great for little ones because it's durable, a quick read, and has really bright, cute pictures. The rhymes on the pages are really cute "Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. The first one says 'Oh my it's getting late!'". The whole book follows like that.My daughter is 5 and starting to read on her own, so books like this are becoming great all over again in our house!

Since this is my baby’s first Halloween, I wanted to start with a book I used to read to my preschoolers. This board book is a perfect book to grow with baby through the toddler years and has such an adorable rhythm.

I love how you can count down with this book. I ended up making extensions to go with it -- felt board pieces and a wooden fence with pumpkins attached to clothespins to hook on the gate. Can't wait to share it with my preschool children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, spooky, quick
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2016

My 2 year old son adores ghosts. I have no idea why. I hope he plans on removing those women from their ghost busting role and takes the job for himself.
But anyway, it's a quick book. Seriously short. I can recite it word for word.
*SPOILERS*

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said "oh my it's getting late"
The second one said "there are witches in the air"
The third one said "but we don't care" (that bit is my son's fave. He loves the picture of the ghost juggling)
The fourth one said "let's run and run and run"
The fifth one said "I'm ready for some fun"
Ooooooooo went the wind and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

That's it. It's probably the shortest book we have. He enjoys it though. But he makes me read it over and over. My memory is so poor I struggle to remember my date of birth but I can recite this book. Fml.

Reviewed in Italy on October 27, 2021

A few years ago I had a version of this with sounds and animations. The pumpkins lit up when touched, and the ghost blew the candle out, witched flew… very disappointed that this version doesn’t do that. It was much more fun for my kids and a much cuter story.
