There's a rhythm to their lives: each has his own instrument to play and his own duties when it comes to cooking their famous pumpkin soup (""the best you ever tasted""). Beginning with a peek through a window where Cat, Squirrel and Duck are making music together, Cooper (The Boy Who Wouldn't Go to Bed) invites youngsters into their cozy pumpkin-shaped home. If you don’t have a copy of Pumpkin Soup you can use this template with a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction texts.This enchanting story explores the ups and downs of close-knit camaraderie.

I think anyone looking at these pumpkins could tell that they children learned a lot and had fun at the same time! I think they did a great job sharing their trip with me. I labeled their drawings as they worked on them. We talked about how everything on their fabulous trip really happened!! Next I asked them to draw things that were non-fiction…all the wonderful things they did and saw on their trip. We discussed their trip and what they saw and did on the trip! I encouraged the children to tell me about their trip so I could learn all about their adventure. Ideas like- Do animals really talk? Do they cook soup? Then I piggy backed on their recent trip to the farm as a way to introduce non-fiction texts and ideas to the children. We discussed that this book is fiction and what makes a fiction story. We talked about the story and how friends can learn together even though they disagree sometimes. Just as I expected the kindergartners were fascinated by Pumpkin Soup
Every group of children that I have shared this book with absolutely love it. I love the book Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper! This is a sweet tale of friends that disagree but in the end they learn that they value each other.
