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

My son loves this book. It is pretty short and easy to read quickly. The pictures are really cute and the pumpkins are fun. The faces on the pumpkins are great for teaching expressions and emotions. My son loves this book, it’s great for fall/Halloween time.

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.

I grew up with “When you give a mouse a cookie” and my mom gifted my daughter with the valentine version this year and she loves it. I had to get this adorable Halloween story to add to the collection! So glad this series is still going strong!

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.

The media could not be loaded. This book is such a great find! I put this in my toddlers bop basket and he loves it. It is a play on if you give a mouse a cookie which he also loves. This book is high quality and extremely durable. Even though it is a Halloween book we read it all year long.

Mouse is back, and this time he is painting all of the pumpkins in the patch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Mouse sets off making silly pumpkins and friendly pumpkins, but then he realizes one of his pumpkins is missing! Who took Mouse's pumpkin? ⁠⁠⁠⁠This short Mouse story can be a great way to talk about feelings and being scared on Halloween. The cover of the book is iridescent, and it is fun to admire in the sunlight

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.

Great addition to our fall collection of stories. Like this series and glad we could add to it.
