Book description

"Refreshingly, an autumn book that isn't about Halloween." -Kirkus Reviews

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! Grab a pumpkin and follow along as this lighthearted, lyrical zoo book for preschoolers…

Why read it?

1 author picked Pumpkin Day at the Zoo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

We love the animals! Because we’ve been to the zoo many times, my grandson loved seeing all the animals enjoying the pumpkins. The elephants, especially because they are so big, smash the pumpkins before eating them. The rhyming verse was a hit as he loves to try to repeat the words.
