I used to be a preschool teacher and I read many of these to my classes. Cute idea.
Aww, that’s adorable. Thanks.
Great choice, Lydia. I used to read lots of picture books about Hallowe’en and pumpkins to my kids and grandkids. They are older now, so not as many picture books anymore.
What a sweet memory. 🙂
Aw I remember reading some of these to my son when he was younger!
That’s great.
I like your idea about the pumpkins. I love Charlie Brown. Nice list. Have a good week and a good day. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2026/09/29/top-ten-tuesday-43-fall-themed-freebie-or-spring-if-you-live-in-the-southern-hemisphere/
Thank you. I love Charlie Brown, too.
These are great!
Have a lovely week!
Thank you.
Ahhh soooo cute. I love these! I have quite a few Halloween books for my tots, but I don’t have nearly enough pumpkin/fall ones.
