From Seed to Pumpkin: A Fall Book for Kids

In the fall, pumpkins are everywhere: in the garden, in the supermarkets, and on doorsteps. But do you know how they grow from a tiny yellow seed to a pumpkin In this classic Level 1 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out picture book, Wendy Pfeffer’s lively text combines with James Graham Hale’s beautiful watercolor artwork to bring readers into the pumpkin patch to show them how little seeds transform to big, fat pumpkins.

Now rebranded with a new look, this book includes a Find Out More section with additional activities, such as an experiment to show how plants use their roots to drink water from the ground and a recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Barbara J. Bromley, Mercer County Horticulturist.
