I really enjoyed this book for multiple reasons. One of the best qualities of this book, in particular, is that it is interactive. You are able to open, spin, and pull different parts of the book to make Pepper (the dog) run, turn, and reappear. For example, there is a barn and in order to see what happened to Pepper, you have to open the barn doors and then you will see him running with the pigs. This book also did a really good job of showing movement within the illustrations. You can tell show more that the little girl is running after her puppy because of the leaves that are flying up behind her. Going more along with the illustrations, I also liked how vibrant and colorful this book is, You can not help but feel happy and excited to look at the next page because of it. I think the big idea of this book is that finding the perfect pumpkin may not always be the easiest task, but with the right helper, you can find the perfect pumpkin. show less

This book is hillarious. It takes many typical ryhths and characters of mother goose and makes them into new stories. Many of the differnt rythms could teach studnets lessons about behaviors

Pepper is a puppy who loves Lily, his master, so much he follows the school bus to her school. He goes into the class and helps out with cleaning the board and show and tell. After a long day of playing and fun Lily decides to walk home with Pepper.

Trucks? Flaps? What more could Otto ask for??
