E-mail me and tell me about your favorite fall or Halloween book and I will add it below.
Mrs. Livermore's favorite fall book is Too Many Pumpkins by Linda White.
In the book, Too Many Pumpkins, Rebecca Estelle hated pumpkins. When she was little, her family didn't have a lot of money and they often had to eat different foods made with pumpkins. She hoped she never had to eat or see a pumpkin ever again. Then one day a pumpkin gets smashed in her yard. What will Rebecca do when the pumpkins take over her yard? Listen below or check out the book to find out.
