Editorial Reviews

06/26/2017
Five pumpkins set off to explore the night in this tabbed board book (a follow-up to Five Little Ducks and other titles), which incorporates small icons that demonstrate how adults can act out each line of the story for their children. When the fourth pumpkin suggests, “Let’s run and run and run!” an inset box shows a human mother pumping her arms up and down, and when pumpkin #5 says, “I am ready for some fun!” the accompanying box proposes a “raise the roof” gesture. Breezy rhymes, the fun of the accompanying actions, and the atmosphere of nocturnal adventure in Marshall’s crisp digital illustrations are sure to lead to some active readalouds. Up to age 3.
