Fall Into Reading with Pete the Cat

Reminiscent of the rhythm of Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, Pete the Cat: Five Little Pumpkins by James Dean is a fun and short fall favorite for younger children to read aloud WITH you. This book naturally lends itself to getting up and acting out the pumpkins' lines, making the sounds of the wind, and finding the voices of the "characters". Mischief, excitement, and wonder are a few of the emotions your child can uncover. Repetition will boost their confidence as they become an active participant in the story while reinforcing the skill of counting. Light your jack-o-lantern, grab a flashlight and have a fun nighttime reading adventure!
