I absolutely love this book. I got it last year to help my pre-k class understand the difference between pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. It got them so riled up when I read this for the first time. They kept yelling, "Yes it is! It's a pumpkin." It was hard to keep from laughing. They were hilarious.
I read it to a small group this year while working with play dough to make pumpkins. They loved it as well, but figured it out much faster. :)

Cute book with simple illustrations and text. Great way to demonstrate to preschoolers how something may not be what it seems if you don't have all the information. Also good for getting the kids involved...like many of the other reviewers, my 4yo was adamant that it WAS a pumpkin and told me so on every page until the end.

You'll have to read it to figure out HOW this could possibly NOT be a pumpkin. My preschoolers were certain the author was confused, until the surprise at the end . . .

Great pre-Halloween preschool book. Every time I read "This is NOT a pumpkin", DS would counter with "Yes it is!" He was able to make the distinction in the end, which made him very proud of himself and when reading makes you proud and happy, I think that's a winner.

I love this book! My preschoolers love it too, and ask me to read it over and over. The illustrations are really simple and the text is bold and clever. Very cute!

It isn't often that you find a board book that is a real page-turner. But this one is. Since it is NOT a pumpkin, what in the world IS it? RAFO.
