Synopsis
Gibbons describes how pumpkins come in different shapes and sizes, how they grow, and their traditional uses and cultural significance. Full color.
Children's Literature
Readers will be captivated by the growth of a pumpkin plant, from preparing the soil and planting the seed, to watching it germinate and grow. Gibbons doesn't stop there, however. In a well-organized and comprehensible text, she gives some information on the history of this plant, a brief bit on Halloween, and how to carve or decorate a pumpkin. Just in case the reader is looking for more information, she has included additional facts in the back of the book. Her clean, clear style of illustration attractively shows the information described in the text. She always has interesting details to pull the readers into the illustrations. Guaranteed to be a popular book, particularly throughout the autumn season.
