Fall is the perfect time to combine fun, learning, and meaningful lessons, and Spookley the Square Pumpkin is one of my favorite books to do just that!

🍁 Why Teachers Love Spookley the Square Pumpkin
Spookley the Square Pumpkin is more than just a cute story — it’s a book that helps young learners understand acceptance and diversity. Spookley doesn’t look like all the other pumpkins, but he learns that being different is what makes him special!
As teachers, we can use this story to build classroom community and reinforce the idea that everyone brings something unique to the group. And of course, we can sneak in a little math and literacy practice along the way!
