As backpacks are packed and a new school year begins, it’s the perfect time to add a little fall magic to your child’s reading routine. Ivy Blue’s Greatest Pumpkin Playhouse is a fun, heartwarming, fall read for children ages 4–10, filled with friendship, imagination, and a very special pumpkin.

Through Ivy Blue’s adventure, children discover the life cycle of a pumpkin and caring for our environment. Little readers are encouraged to notice the natural world around them and understand how even small acts of caring can make a difference.

At the heart of the story is Ivy Blue’s unexpected friendship with her pumpkin, Autumn. As children head back to school and begin making new friends, Ivy Blue’s story offers a wonderful reminder to keep an open heart and be willing to look for friendship in unexpected places. Ivy Blue also learns an important lesson about never giving up on your dreams, even when things don’t turn out quite the way you imagined.

Pumpkin season is just around the corner! As the leaves begin to change and pumpkins start appearing in gardens, patches, and porches, Ivy Blue’s Greatest Pumpkin Playhouse makes a wonderful book to welcome all the cozy fun of fall.

So as your little ones head back to school, tuck a little autumn reading into their routine. Grab a copy of Ivy Blue’s Greatest Pumpkin Playhouse and let Ivy Blue inspire your child to care for the world around them, cherish friendship, and—most importantly—believe in their dreams.

 

Warmly,

~Wendy
