It's Pumpkin Day, Mouse! (If You Give...)

Ten bright drawings + seven pumpkins + one bouncy mousie + a surprise = an enchanting board book. The story explores feelings & how we draw them (or make faces): happy, sad, silly, surprised, SCARY!!, and (a sweet ending) friendly.This book may be best for 1 to 3 year olds. There's one sentence per drawing, short and simple, such as "This pumpkin looks surprised." Unlike other books in the beloved "If you give a mouse..." series, "It's Pumpkin Day" has no wild unexpected mischief or story.There are plenty of happy opportunities to expand on the ideas (such as counting, color names, how we show what we are feeling, nice feelings and scary feelings, friendship).In Felicia Bond's magical drawings, Mouse is as ebullient as ever with blue overalls and big pink ears. The blue gets mightily multicolored since Mouse's dances & leaps overturn all those bright paints----but there's lots of newspapers beneath those seven pumpkins!A wonderful introduction to Mouse, a perfect autumn book for small artists, durable with quality boards, binding, and art. Have crayons ready!Highly recommended as an excellent value for the younger readers. I've ordered a copy each for Emme, Alana, and Eloise and probably will be back for more.

Love all the mouse books. This is a small Hardcover book short book . looks like it could be about feelings for kids and making faces. Overall a great book.

I gave this book as part of a Halloween gift to a three-month-old. Her parents enjoy reading it to her, and she is attentive. She will probably enjoy it more when she is older, but listening to her parents and looking at the pictures is a good start. The illustrations are colorful and simple. This book was one of her cousin's favorite books when he was younger.

It's a fun book.

Our house loves the if you give a mouse series and so this was a great fall themed addition to our collection. A cute story about little mouse’s adventure with pumpkins. Perfect for the little one!

I love almost everything this author writes! I read some of her books to my daughter over 20 years ago. Now her son loves them as well! This will be his Halloween book!

I purchased this book because I love the book if you give them mouse a cookie. I wanted to share some thing with my 4K class for Halloween. We just so happened to be working on feeling and learning. The zones are regulation around the same time. This book was a great way to connect with feelings and Halloween while still having a character I love.

The media could not be loaded. This book was perfect for my son last fall! He was 11 months old and didn’t have a long attention span for reading. He loves the mouse books and really liked this one! I think he will still like it again this fall as well at 23 months.

We love these series, we have most of the books and this one is in the top most read.

Desde que llegó le llamó la atención a mi niña (16 meses) y lo leemos frecuentemente. Tiene representación de algunas emociones y es una buena introducción al tema. Lo recomiendo.

The media could not be loaded. Lovely illustrated book! A favourite in our house!
