This book is one of my favorite autumn picture books. The character, Rebecca Estelle, is brimming with personality. Ms. Lloyd's illustrations are vibrant and picturesque. She makes me want to step into the story and live there!
Rebecca Estelle hates pumpkins because when she was growing up, money and food was scarce so the family ate pumpkins for every meal! Now that she is elderly she still despises pumpkin. Then a pumpkin falls off a truck and splatters right into her yard. You can guess what happens!
Strategies: character traits/change/development, predicting, inferring
*Highly recommend
