Five Little Pumpkins Reviews
-
Make some Halloween memories with this book that will last through the years.
-
I actually read another story about "Five Little Pumpkins", I liked this one better. The illustrations were better and the story seemed more fun.
-
A beautiful book adaptation of the popular children's fingerplay/action rhyme by the same name. I read it to my son yesterday, and he was captivated. It's certainly not the season for this type of book, but we didn't care! If we had as much fun as we did reading it yesterday, think what fun we could have near Halloween incorporating other fun activities and stories into our reading session. Looking forward to it already! Five Little Pumpkins is a larger sized board book, so it is perfect for baby and toddler groups.
-
This is a fun-loving, sing-a-long little Halloween book for all to enjoy. It makes a great classroom addition and bedtime story for the littles.
-
A chilling rhyme of spookiness as relayed by five little pumpkins sitting on a gate, and what occurs around them as the sit there on a Halloween night.
-
Teddy! Loves! Pumpkins! We heard this story at a Halloween themed storytime and he was so excited to point at all the pumpkins and shout at them.
He pronounces it (age 19 months): "guh-kuh" -
SUMMARY: Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late."Get ready for some wicked fun as these five pumpkins run and roll! Toddlers will want to chant along with this popular rhyme again and again. Dan Yaccarino's vibrant and bold illustrations bring these pumpkins to life with personality and style. Toddlers are sure to laugh out loud as these pumpkins roll out of sight!
REVIEW: According to my 2 1/2 year old grandson, "Gigi this good book!" The rhyming pattern is so easy for little ones to chime in with and the pictures are adorable. This one will be pulled out each Halloween for a long time. -
What a fun rhyming counting book. It is a greay book to get you into the Halloween spirit. My son Nico might be a little to young to understand the book but I do know he enjoyed it. The quickness of the story kept him entertained while not being to long to make him crabby. The colorful pictures set a nice scene for the book. There was even a part where the wind went WOOOOOO and I read it in a spooky tone and Nico's eyes got wide with freight but after he smiled with glee. Can't wait to read it to him when he gets a little older.

This is a cute rhyme, but it's a classic so the text is not what will make or break this book as there are other versions. What is great about this version are the illustrations. The pumpkins really pop against the dark blue background. The illustrations are a bit spooky but the pumpkins are so fun and friendly looking that it's not too scary for little ones.
-
Charming board book with rhyming verses. Vivid saturated colors against a "spooky" Halloween night. Not too scary for the little ones but does include a little darkness & drama to set it apart from other toddler Halloween books. We liked this one so much that we bought a copy for our two year old's book collection.
-
This very cute rhyming book will teach your little ones a new way to count to five. It's a spooky fun treat for the kids and very colorful and whimsical for Halloween.
This is a great story to read after you've carved the pumpkins and it's time for bed. -

This is one of my kids' favorites! My son loves trying to figure out which pumpkin is talking and likes to finish each page from memory.

GOOD!

Five Little Pumpkins was a classic rhyme that I grew up hearing, most likely in preschool and kindergarten. I was delighted when our family received this book as a gift. The illustrations are vibrant with perfect deep jewel tone Halloween colors. There are many versions of this rhyme in book form, but there are four reasons I specifically enjoy this version.
1. The illustration on the “out went the light” pages are enchanting. When reading it to my children I always whisper this part. The whispering in addition to the dramatic black background picture with the illuminated pumpkins and ghosts flying through the air has a magical and just slightly “preschool spooky” effect for toddlers.
2. The rhyme that I was familiar with growing up included one of the pumpkins saying, “I don’t care”. This version of the book swaps out that rhyme with a more classical Halloween rhyme of, “good folk beware”. This rhyme makes me smile every time. I really prefer it to what I was previously familiar with.
3. We have the board book version of this book. It is sturdy with a slightly squishy thick cover. It has survived three active toddlers.
4. I adore the illustrations in this book. The cute speckled frogs in witches hats and chubby little pumpkins are standouts. -
This is one of my favorite Halloween rhymes! The wording is a bit different but it didn't change the story. The illustrations are beautiful. Rich, bright fall shades like purple, pink, orange and deep reds really set this version of the book apart. Not to mention the funny little ghosts and witchy frogs tagging along for the adventure.
-
I've read numerous versions of Five Little Pumpkins and this is one of my favorites. I also like that it is a sturdy board book yet it is larger than most board books. My son loves this book and the fingerplay and carries it around with him (not just around Halloween!)
-
I like the illustrations in this one. I plan to chant “Five Little Pumpkins” with the babies, then read this book after now that we all know the rhythm! The rhymes are a little different than the one I’m used to but the story is essentially the same.
-
Thought this was a sweet little book execution of the existing children's rhyme/song/fingerplay. Only questionable part is the third finger being "Good folks, beware!" instead of "But we/I don't care!" haha.
-
The text is changed from the OG poem and the meter is now off. “The third one said, ‘Good folk, beware!’” I really really like the pumpkins and other illustrations so I’d still show it to a young child.
-
My son had this one memorized by the end of the season ... he LOVES this book. "Ooooo went the wild ... and OUT went the light ... and the five little pumpkins ... rolled out of sight." He just loved it and so do I!
-
Cute illustrations and Halloween story, but it was difficult to read the words because the pages were so dark. Good board book for toddlers.
-
Fun little rhyme with nice art and some counting.
-
Counting book about pumpkins. Alludes to Halloween but doesn't specifically mention it.
