Description
When farmers and pumpkin patch owners donate their pumpkins to the zoo, the animals chomp, chew, play, and give hearty hoorays for their favorite squishy squash! Grab a pumpkin and follow along as this lighthearted, lyrical zoo book for preschoolers and elementary-age kids from bestselling novelist Susan Meissner celebrates the fall season in the most entertaining way.
Here come the wagons down the streets, rumbling and tumbling with pumpkin treats! Kids will love watching the zoo animals enjoy their autumn snack in this educational, rhyming story.
With lively artwork from illustrator Pablo Pino, Pumpkin Day at the Zoo
- is ideal for ages 4–8;
- is recommended for classrooms and libraries focused on animal life, fall festivities, and generosity;
- shows kids the importance of donating and repurposing excess; and
- is the perfect gift for National Pumpkin Day, back-to-school celebrations, Halloween, or Thanksgiving.
Both humorous and educational, Pumpkin Day at the Zoo applauds all the good that comes from sharing in your community.

A delightful little read. The prose and illustrations make this book fun for adults and kids. I loved all the different animals that were included. The general tone and illustrations made this a happy and fun book. This would be a great way to get kids involved with their local zoo or to learn more about why everyone (animals AND people) benefit from eating pumpkins.

Pumpkin Day at the Zoo is a bright and fun book! The colorful illustrations emphasize all of the animals celebrating pumpkin day. I loved that the book educated on donating your leftover pumpkins. I can’t wait to add this to my kids library and have a family activity of recycling our pumpkins!
Thank you, Netgalley and Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN'S , for the advance reading copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My son absolutely loved Pumpkin Day at the Zoo. The illustrations in this book are beautiful, colorful, and fun. My little guy especially loved the otters and beavers. He thought they were so funny. This book is full of all the animals you can see at the zoo. This book is also educational with a section about donating your leftover pumpkins in October to your local zoo. I look forward to finding a physical copy of this book in July!
