Night Night, Pumpkin is a beautiful seasonal read for children aged 3-5 years, however, older children would adore this too!

The book has absolutely adorable illustrations children will love and teaches them about autumn and what happens in autumn.

This book is a fun, easy read with repetition for the child to say night night to all the things in the book.

I love the rhyming as well.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book is a great board book for young kids with a little more text than most books, but great rhyming skills.

This was a pretty typical fall book. It does mention “God” twice which to some can be a no-no but it is a quick reference that is not specific and could be used by many religions. The illustrations are sweet and pair perfectly with the story.

Was literally awarded the opportunity to read the book and within minutes it was archived as I went to download it. Extremely disappointing and unfair.

This is a cute little book about it being the fall with lots of cute little farm animal characters to go with it. I read it to my 5 year old daughter and she really seemed to like it as a bedtime story. The only thing I did not like was the downloaded version cut off at about 96%, therefore, I am not sure if we were able to complete the entire story. It didn't seem like the book quite ended there. Overall though it was an enjoyable book for us to read together. Thank you Net Gally and the publisher for the free copy for this honest review.

A colorful storybook I enjoyed reading to my 4 year old grandchildren. I didn't find it especially fun for them but we had a good time playing I Spy with the colorful pages. I think it would be a better choice for them when they are ready to settle down for bed or quiet time . Nicely illustrated and well written... We read the e-book, I think the board book would be a better choice for them.

Night, Nght Pumpkin by Amy Parker is one of the cutest Children’s book I have ever read. The illustrations are beautiful. I cannot wait to read this book to my granddaughter Kaylee and my grandson Chance to see what they think of it. I bet even my 11 and 12 year old grandchildren would love to read it to their brother or sister.

My toddler is still reading this one, even as we switch to the holiday season, because this one has become an instant favorite for her. She's obsessed with pumpkins, and animals like most children her age so we were really excited to get a copy of this one thanks to Thomas Nelson & NetGalley!

An absolutely charming story about a puppy in costume, this endearing book is full of whimsical illustrations and our favorite fall things!

A nice little autumn story of animal friends picking apples, maze ride, and more. A cute short autumn book. The illustrations are nice to look at.

Night Night Pumpkin is part of the Night Night series written by Amy Parker and Illustrated by Virginia Allyn. I just love this series! It is one of my favorites for young children. The story is just the right length to read to younger children. The pictures are so colorful and filled with different animals and things from nature that God has made for us to enjoy. This is a great series to have to read to little ones to relax them for nap times or just for run.

This book follows a little dog around as he goes through a pumpkin farm. The reader and listener get to enjoy the puppy as he learns about trees and fallen leaves, as he selects a pumpkins and apples for treats and snacks, as he travels a corn maze and rides in a hay wagon, and finally as he listens to his grandfather stories and then off to bed.

When I noticed this book was available on Netgalley, I knew I had to have it as a special treat to read to my grandchildren this fall. I thank the publisher and NetGalley for offering this complimentary ebook. This is my honest review.

With bright colors, a good story, and pretty leaves this story will be a perfect book for younger readers to learn more about Thanksgiving.

I sat down and read this with my son, and whilst the book was colourful, it didn’t completely engage him with the story. Personally I thought it was easy to read, and the rhyme and rhythm were suitable to young children.

Would recommend for reading to younger children, possibly under 5 years old.

This was ok. My kids enjoyed it the first time but didn't ask for it again. Would be good for a gift maybe especially around halloween and fall.

Night Night, Pumpkin by Amy Parker is a great story for preschoolers about Autumn/Fall. It shows a puppy wearing a pumpkin going through his day doing all sorts of fun activities with his family and friends. After each activity, he says Night, Night to something depending on the activity (trees, leaves, apples, family, God etc.) We read this one at bedtime, and I had a hard time getting my granddaughter to settle. There is a lot happening during this puppies day and she wanted to tell me all about each picture and then when she did the same activities. She even tried to start jumping around. I had to read a quiet book after finishing this one to settle her. I did enjoy this story, but I am not sure if I would classify it as a bedtime story. It is a fun, light hearted story with wonderful and adorable illustrations that certainly elicited quite a discussion. I loved that the family focus was also a central part of this story.

This was a super cute story for fall reading! I could only do it on a small screen in the app so it wasn’t ideal for reading to my kiddo, but it’s one I would definitely get for him!

This book is a complete....and super sweet...Autumn celebration, and also makes the perfect night time story to lead to calm sleep and dreams.

Every page packs bright, joyful and colorful illustrations. The main characters are animals, who not only bright across a gentle atmosphere but radiate happiness. Every page gives thanks for something which has to do with Fall: leaves, pumpkins, apples, etc. The presented situations are ones that young listeners will be able to identify with.

Each scene is presented with four lines of text in gentle, poem form. The words are age appropriate and swing right along with the illustrations. At the end, there is a thanks to God for everything. It's a wholesome read which young listeners can flip through on their own. The illustrations also hold details, so that there something new to discover.

I received a copy through Netgalley and found this to be a delightful book for Fall.

This truly adorable nighttime story is sure to delight any little one with cute critters who are celebrating autumn and their favorite fall activities. With vibrant, two page scenes, little ones will love the soft, lyrical words as they follow along with the animals saying goodnight to the leaves, trees, cows and more! I personally enjoyed the “attitude of gratitude” this book cultivated for my little one’s heart and the mention of thanking God and telling Him goodnight. This is the perfect, cozy bedtime read for ages 2+ and is sure to be a favorite in our home for many seasons to come.

This was a cute little picture book. The art was cute and fun. I liked all the animals and different creatures. I do think there was a bit of a disconnect between the title "Night Night, Pumpkin" and the rest of the story. There were "night nights" on each page but the story on each page didn't really fit with going to sleep. I feel like if it was actually night time the whole time instead of a day full of activities, it would fit a bit better. Overall, super cute!
