This week we read The Stubborn Pumpkin
, by Laura Geringer. This is a cute repetitive story about a farmer who tries to pull a gigantic pumpkin from the vine. He asks for help from his wife, daughter, cow, dog, cat and finally a little tiny mouse.
, by Laura Geringer. This is a cute repetitive story about a farmer who tries to pull a gigantic pumpkin from the vine. He asks for help from his wife, daughter, cow, dog, cat and finally a little tiny mouse.After reading this book we decided to make our own pumpkin. I asked Emily if she wanted to paint or glue. She was in a gluing mood so I got her some orange paper and glue to make a torn paper pumpkin.
Emily riped the orange construction paper into little pieces.
I cut a pumpkin shape from a piece of white card stock and Emily glued on the orange paper pieces.
I cut a green stem and Emily glued on the stem.

I have never heard of this book--thanks for sharing it.
I LOVE her pumpkin! It looks awesome!! She does such a great job each week.
That pumpkin looks great. We have a Halloween book about a witch that can't pull a gigantic pumpkin from the vine and other Halloween creatures (mummy, vampire, etc) come to help. In the end, they work together to get the pumpkin and she makes pumpkin pie for them to share. I'll have to look for this book.
There are some great skills that Emily is working on--tearing and gluing. Love the season themed book.
Very nice pumpkin. I bet she had a great time tearing and gluing.
Sounds like a cute book. I love her pumpkin!
The version I'd heard of this book was called "The Gigantic Pumpkin," and I think there's a Halloween version as well.
This sounds like a great book! I love the pumpkin. It looks like it was a lot of fun to make and it is so cute.
I love the look of 'torn paper' crafts!
This craft turned out so neat! I love the result - it's a perfect pumpkin for Halloween.
It came out great :)
Very cute! Nothing like doing crafts in your pjs. :)
Her pumpkin turned out great. She did such a great job of covering the whole thing:)
I linked up, even though we didn't do a particular Eric Carle book. It's art in the style of Eric Carle. Hope that's all right. I already had the post and it kind of fit the McLinky.
She looks like such a hard worker and her pumpkin turned out great!
Hi Michelle
Sounds like a fun book for this time of year. Emily made such a sweet pumpkin.
My daughter would have a blast tearing paper for that type of project. I need to remember this cute pumpkin art!
Great job!
By the way, I was wondering if you want a "blog button" for the stART meme? If so, I don't mind making one (no charge) for you. I have a blog design business (currently on maternity leave).
Just let me know if you want one and, if so, what info/graphics you'd like.
Please check out this post:
