What are they going to do next? The elf came to our school, her name is Winter. Maybe she came to remind us that it’s not Christmas. She said see you in 8 weeks.

Book Review
Five Pesky Pumpkins by Andi J. and Hadley S.
We picked this book because we have read it before. We liked it because it was spooky and funny at the same time. There are pop-up photos on every page. We borrowed the book from Mrs. Aust’s class. It starts, “On a spooky , scary night,five pesky pumpkins are out to make mischief and give their friend's a fright.” We think the grade level of the kids that should be reading this book is kindergarten or first grade.
Andi’s favorite part is page 5 because Three Sneaky pumpkins stir up a gooey brew and the pop-up feature is a witch eating the gooey brew.
