Five Little Pumpkins by Dan Yaccarino brings the classic fall rhyme to life with bold, happy pictures. Five pumpkins sit on a gate, and one by one they say something new before they all roll out of sight. It's short, rhythmic and perfect for counting.

It's Letter H day, so snack time is all about the /h/ sound, like honeydew. Your little one builds a big H on the plate and then eats it. Hummus, honeydew and ham: hooray for H!

H is our eighth letter! It makes an /h/ sound at the start of words like horse, house, hat and honeydew. To make it, open your mouth and breathe out, like you're fogging up a window.

Write letters all over a whiteboard, call one out and watch your little one wipe it away! Wipe Out is a fast, silly letter game that uses this week's letter H plus the letters we've learned so far, A through G.
