ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ???? Kids Read Aloud | IT’S PUMPKIN DAY, MOUSE! by Laura Numeroff
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have a fun story time together. Are you ready? Let’s jump into a wonderful story about pumpkins and a little mouse!
Our story is called “It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!” It was written by Laura Numeroff and has beautiful pictures by Felicia Bond. In this story, a cute little mouse has seven pumpkins to decorate. Wow, that’s a lot of pumpkins!
Mouse starts by painting a happy face on one pumpkin. Can you make a happy face too? Then, Mouse paints a sad face on another pumpkin. Oh no, that pumpkin looks a little blue!
Next, Mouse makes a silly face on a pumpkin. Can you make a silly face? It’s so much fun! Then, Mouse paints a surprised face. What do you think surprised looks like?
Oh dear, one of the pumpkins is missing! But guess what? A friendly dog made a scary face on it. Boo! But don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.
Now, it’s time to make all the pumpkins look friendly and happy again. Happy Pumpkin Day, Mouse! Even though we call it Halloween, it’s fun to celebrate pumpkins too!
Mouse showed us how to be creative by painting different faces on the pumpkins. You can try decorating pumpkins too! What kind of faces would you like to paint?
We hope you enjoyed this story about Mouse and his pumpkins. Remember, you can always use your imagination to create fun and exciting things. Happy reading!
Face Painting Fun: Gather some paper plates and markers. Ask the children to draw different faces on the plates, just like Mouse did with the pumpkins. Encourage them to create happy, sad, silly, and surprised faces. Discuss with them how each face makes them feel and why they chose those expressions.
Pumpkin Hunt: Organize a small scavenger hunt in the classroom or playground. Hide small paper pumpkins with different faces drawn on them. As the children find each pumpkin, ask them to describe the face and how it might feel. This will help them connect emotions with facial expressions.
Emotion Charades: Play a game of charades where each child picks a card with an emotion written on it (happy, sad, silly, surprised, etc.). They then act out the emotion without speaking, and the other children guess which emotion it is. This activity encourages them to express and recognize different emotions through body language and facial expressions.

Today’s book is “It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!” by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond. Let’s get started!
Mouse has seven pumpkins to decorate. Seven? I’ve only ever decorated one! What are you going to make, seven faces? I only know a few emotions like scared and happy.
Good luck, Mouse!
Mouse paints a happy face on one pumpkin. Oh, how happy!
This pumpkin is sad. This pumpkin has a silly face. This pumpkin looks surprised.
Wow, pretty impressive, Mouse! Very creative with all those different emotions.
But I think you’ve named them all. I can’t think of any more.
Oh, wait! One of the pumpkins is missing!
Oh no, a dog made a scary pumpkin!
Now it’s time to make friendly pumpkins. Happy Pumpkin Day, Mouse!
So, Mouse wasn’t going to use scared after all.
I guess you’re not that creative, Mouse!
Also, it’s called Halloween. I don’t think pumpkins have their own day.
No, it’s shorter and saves time! Everyone knows it. If someone came up to me and said “Happy Pumpkin Day,” I would run away because I don’t talk to strangers.
Good advice!
