I have mixed opinions on this book. Although this was not my favorite children’s book to read, I thought it did a very good job relaying information to the reader about pumpkin harvests. The words were simple enough for children to understand and some of the more difficult words such as harvest or sprout were put in a small glossary in the back of the book. This was a great extra textural feature in the book. The information was also paired nicely with the pictures. For example, when the book talked about how the pumpkins are planted in a row and grow on vines, the background was covered with detailed pictures showing so. The one thing I didn’t enjoy about this book was that it wasn’t very engaging. The story follows two kids going through a pumpkin patch and on each page they have a thought bubble along with the informational text. While I think the author was attempting to catch the readers attention with these, they make reading the page a little awkward, not knowing what to read first. Overall, the idea of this book was to inform the reader about pumpkin harvests, when and how it occurred and how to pick the perfect pumpkin. ( )
