Pick a Pumpkin, Mrs. Millie!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Mathieu. In this third title featuring the teacher's silly wordplay, Mrs. Millie takes her eager class on a field trip to Farmer Don's pumpkin patch. The students reliably correct her terminology when she misstates wagon as dragon, scarecrow as harecrow, etc. The story, coupled with cheery but bland illustrations, is humorous but grows a bit tiresome.
