Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin-Picking Plan
Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin-Picking Plan by Catherine Hapka illustrated by Loryn Brantz based on the bestselling books by Rob Scotton
Splat the cat and his friend Seymour the mouse begin the book by raking leaves for Splat's mother. The season is autumn and Splat decides to jump into the huge pile of freshly raked leaves creating quite the mess. His mother then asks Seymour and Splat to go pick out a pumpkin to decorate on the porch. Seymour had the perfect pumpkin in mid. and the search was on after Splat the cat completed the multiple activities held at the farmers pumpkin patch. After finding the biggest pumpkin in the entire patch, they have to roll the thing home which turns into a bad idea when it rolls down the hill uncontrollably over the bridge, between cars, and right through his front gate. the pumpkin comes to a complete stop just in front of Splats mother where she finds the pumpkin to be perfect! He replies to her that it "was no trouble, No trouble at all". This book takes the reader on a comical journey to complete a simple task that got out of hand. It can teach us thatchings don't always go as planned and sometimes we get lucky. It is a great story and gives students the opportunity to see where their curiosity can take them. I would recommend this book being read in pre-k through second grade based on the level of difficulty.
