  1. T Kane

    This notebook companion is wonderful. We worked on it a little bit at a time since there was a lot in it. What I liked most is how well it went along with The Pumpkin Book so as we read the book, we could easily follow along in the notebook. The companion notebook definitely helped to reinforce the information. At a pumpkin patch, my 6 year old was naming a few of the different kinds and reminding me how she colored them in her notebook. This is definitely something to take out and revisit next Autumn.

    This notebook companion for The Pumpkin Book has a lot in it. We worked on it over a few days as there was so much that my almost 5yr old daughter couldn’t do it all at once! She doesn’t write much yet, so she just answered the questions and I wrote for her. She drew some of the pictures while I drew others with her telling me what to draw and where on the picture it went. I loved the extra coloring pages at the end of the packet. They were great for my almost-3yr old to color while big sister did her learning! This would be great as part of a fall theme. I love that I can reuse this year after year. Will be a great thing to save and compare how much my daughter has learned from year to year!
