Can you mix fiction and non-fiction pumpkin books during your inquiry studies?
Definitely! It’s so important for students to recognize that we can enjoy a topic through factual texts and picture books at the same time. The fictional picture books allow us to dive into a world of wonder and playfulness, and the non-fiction titles provide foundational knowledge and spark curiosity around the topic.
