Description

This educational exploration of a pumpkin's life-cycle is a must for any aspiring scientist or farmer! We can be sure of this- It's a circle without end. It's pumpkin seeds to pumpkins to pumpkin seeds again! This treat of a picture book comes cloaked in the colors of fall. Bouncy verse and glowing photographs show a backyard pumpkin patch move through its natural cycle-a bug's eye and a bird's high view of seeds sprouting, flowers blooming, bees buzzing, pumpkins growing . . .and then going back to earth. An author's note explains how to grow your own pumpkin. Awards Parent's Guide Award Reviews "If you weren't a pumpkin lover before, you will be after checking this neat book out." -Fast Forward magazine "Eye-catching full-color photography and rhyming text. . . . An excellent choice for fall pumpkin studies." -Public Schools of North Carolina's Infotech "Your books will help us put an emphasis on early reading and help improve the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding farmers and agriculture." -American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture
