Oct 11, 2022

When the pumpkins turn from green to orange, it's time to head to the pumpkin patch! From corn mazes to bumpy tractor rides, visiting your local farm is the perfect way to ring in the fall season.

After a day out at the pumpkin patch, there is nothing better than getting cozy with a warm cup of cider and reading a festive book together as a family. Your little one will be eager to dive into fall-themed stories. From playful jack-o'-lanterns and giant pumpkins, these books are perfect ways to connect to and reinforce their own experiences. 

For instance, The Biggest Pumpkin Surprise Ever is an engaging story about pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Young readers will delight in this search-and-find board book packed with beautiful illustrations and charming rhymes that are great for building their phonemic awareness

Meanwhile, Owl Diaries #11: Trip to the Pumpkin Farm is a sweet fall story that follows Eva and her class on a field trip to the pumpkin farm. When the award-missing pumpkin suddenly goes missing, will Eva and her friends be able to solve the mystery?
