    This is beautifully illustrated (realistically) with a subtle use of color. I bought this book for one of my lucky nieces for Christmas. She loved it immediately! Although she cannot yet read, story time with mom and dad will be delightful and easy to comprehend. Each page has one sentence, with easy to read printed fonts beneath the illustrations. This book will be a favorite of those learning to read simple sentences. My niece is two years old presently. Highly recommend this sweet book!

    Verified Purchase
    My new tradition is to purchase a classic hardcover book for each of my kids' birthdays to add to their library and to use as a guest book for people to sign the inside cover when they come for their parties. I love this tradition as they get to read the notes from loved ones each time we read the book!

    This book is perfect for my one year old as it has fewer words and simple sentences that match the pictures. Definitely a classic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great lifecycle book
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Althought this book has few words, it's wonderful to teach the life cycle of a pumpkin. This is a great book to teach that pictures sometimes tell more of the story than the words. The seed, sprouts, the sprout grows into a plant and gets bigger on each page. The words don't tell this, but the pictures do. Students are engaged as they search for changes in a pumpkin's life cycle. The pictures are a bit muted, but I still love the book for its simplicity. We give each student six pumpkin seeds to take home and plant in the Spring, just as the main character does. They can continue their own pumpkin's life cycle. Fun and engaging.

    Such a lovely book. Perfect for preschoolers. We even carved a pumpkin, scooped out the pulp and planted 6 pumpkin seeds, just like the book. The book lends itself to a real life application.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great fall/halloween book for young children
    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    This simple book describes a boy planting a pumpkin seed and growing it into his Halloween jack-o-lantern. The illustrations are soft and muted, not as vibrant as many children's books quite nice. The story is straight forward and has great pictures of wildlife woven in. If you are looking for a book for a boy it has the added bonus of featuring a boy protaganist involved in a calm and peaceful activity.
