Pumpkins Picking with the Petersons

This book is part of a collection of counting books designed to expose young children to early fraction concepts and extend their understanding of whole-number counting to the development of fraction counting sequences. This book was written by undergraduate elementary school teacher candidates at Emmanuel College in Boston, Massachusetts and is the story of a family who sets out to carve ten pumpkins late one October. The story is written in rhyme, which will naturally appeal to young children, and also has a fun ending.
