I have a pumpkin on my front porch leftover from Halloween that I never did anything with. They were all so cheap the day after Halloween too. Well, one of my Teacher friends, Mrs. Lapadat, had a fantastic idea and gave out an assignment to do PUMPKIN BOOK REPORTS! They were so Awesome!

I think this Scooby Doo Pumpkin Book Report was my favorite. It was just so funny and cute. |
Check them out! Everybody bought a pumpkin and decorated it like the main character in a favorite picture book! Here are my favorite ones. There were many!

I had not seen this picture book Very Brave Witch. It looked like a cute one though. |

I think this one is Parts? The pumpkin’s eyeballs were too funny. |

Parts is a kid favorite! The tiny pumpkin cracked me up too. I guess 2 kids did the same book. |
She invited me down to see them. That reminds me, I forgot to send a thank you note! EEK! I better have my kids do those tomorrow!

They put the extra ones from the other classes into the library so we all could enjoy the Pumpkin Book Reports. |

This one looks so much like the book I wanted to take it home! It was one of my favs! There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly! |
They read their stories to 2 kids at a time in a kind of round robin buddy reading activity for our class. The kids got to hear 3 to 4 stories in the half hour we were invited to come visit.

This one was a triple pumpkin teepee! Woopee! I loved it. What a fun time we had looking all these cute pumpkins over! |
They were the gosh darn cutest things I’d ever seen. I wish I would have thought of it! We all LOVED IT! Thanks 3rd Graders for some fun buddy reading!
