![]() ![]() This delightful rhyme has been on this blog before and was created by a good friend and mentor who is now a retired youth librarian. SING: “Pumpkin Chant” by Jane Willis Johnston. “Five Little Pumpkins” is an old, well-loved rhyme that is also popular to sing as a fingerplay about five pumpkins on a spooky night that young children enjoy reading and reciting during and long after the pumpkin season. There are a couple illustrated versions of this famous Halloween rhyme (like this one and this one), but this board book by Ben Mantle seems to be the version both of my girls responded to the most over the years. ![]() READ: Five Little Pumpkins illustrated by Ben Mantle ( Public Library | Local Bookstore). Get into the spirit of Halloween with a pumpkin storytime of your very own. With so many pumpkins all around, it’s a great time to read stories and sing songs all about pumpkins with your little one. Pumpkins, pumpkins, everywhere! Tis’ pumpkin season when pumpkins adorn doorsteps and windows, decorate storefronts, and everything, EVERYTHING is flavored pumpkin. Storytime doesn’t just happen in the library, storytime can be anytime! Each storytime focuses on a book about a specific interest, a song, rhyme, or fingerplay that complements the story, and then a few, simple extension activities. Storytime Anytime is a concentrated storytime experience that parents and caregivers can recreate with the youngster in your life. ![]()
