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 colours 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.
Recommended for ages 5 - 8 years.
