This book talks about a fun-filled day of pumpkin picking at the local pumpkin field on a beautiful autumn afternoon with family and friends. All the vocabs are very easy to read and understand.

Children go back to reread familiar picture books. For me, rereading a favorite childhood picture book is like visiting an old friend, or coming
