Sam sets off to gather pumpkins in his wagon. How many can he fit in before disaster strikes?
This book features a lot of funny action in both the pictures and the story, keeping young listeners/readers entertained while sneaking in a math lesson (doubling numbers). I could see a teacher using this as a follow-up for a class trip to the pumpkin farm or for any activity related to harvest/autumn theme. It's not tied to a 'Halloween' theme at all so it could be used from September through Thanksgiving.
