Book Review: 'Mr. Pumpkin's Tea Party' by Erin Barker

✰✰✰½ Mr. Pumpkin is having a tea party, and everyone is invited. As his spooky guests arrive, each brings a yummy treat with them. As more treats are added to the bountiful banquet at twilight, we’ll count up to 13. Fun will be had by all until the magic hour arrives, and Mr. Pumpkin must bid everyone farewell.

The Bottom Line: This sweet & spooky (but not scary) counting book is perfect for Halloween fun as children learn to count from 1 to 13. Illustrated with charming watercolors in autumnal and evening tones, this book will appeal to preschoolers.
