Pumpkin Books:

Booklist from Roanoke Library

Songs:

(tune: I'm a little teapot)

I'm a little pumpkin

Fat and round

Sitting in a pumpkin patch, 

on the ground.

I can be a jack-o-lantern

With two bit eyes

Or made into a big fat pie.

(tune: twinkle, twinkle, little star)

Pumpkin, pumpkin orange and round,

Sitting right there on the ground

Once you were a seed so small

Now you are a great orange ball

Pumpkin, pumpkin orange and round, 

rolling, rolling on the ground.
