I was in Denver last month to attend the annual conference of the Colorado Council International Reading Association and pick up the Colorado Children’s Book Award won by Shark Vs. Train.

"One of the best parts of the book is that the boys go to replay the story! Immediately Jude ran to his room to grab his shark and the train. Then they played in the living room with them for the longest time. I love books that inspire play and especially creative play, which is a super aspect of this one."

Each student selected a book that they had read before and created one of the characters from the book on their pumpkin. There was only 1 rule: Do NOT carve or cut the pumpkin.
