Pumpkin Circle: The Story of a Garden

by George Levenson (Author), Shmuel Thaler (Photographer)

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.
