Pumpkin-Themed Books for Kids

Allie Gator’s Halloween Hayride
This book is great for preschool aged kids and little ones who like machines and things that go! In this book, follow Allie, a John Deere gator, on her adventure to navigate the corn maze and pumpkin patch for the first time.

This is a great picture book, perfect for grade school kids. In this book, the witch grows a giant pumpkin and tries to make pumpkin pie with the help of her other Halloween friends, but they encounter some obstacles along the way.

This book is a favorite in our house and is great for toddlers! It’s a simple, fun, and festive board book that teaches counting, too!

This book is fun for toddlers & preschoolers! It has fun illustrations, flaps, and rhyming! Follow the Little Blue Truck on his way to the Halloween party, where he finds his farm friends in costumes along the way!

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
This book is a classic and is great for the whole family! Wait in the pumpkin patch with Linus, while the rest of the gang trick or treats and goes to a Halloween party.
