LET IT GROW

LET IT GROW by Mary Ann Fraser. Illustrated by Riley Samels.

 I love pumpkin season! Let It Grow, is a fun picture book about a boy and his experience growing a pumpkin. The story begins with "A seed. A very special seed. Are you going to eat it? Oh no! I'll let it grow." The story doesn't end with growing the pumpkin. The boy takes it to the fair. That's still not where it ends. Next, he hollows out his pumpkin and launches it in the lake as a boat he rides in. He sails it in the Great Pumpkin Regatta.How cool is that? You will definitely want to check out the end notes. Included is information about the origins of the Atlantic Giant pumpkin (variety often used when growing these mammoth pumpkins), cool pumpkin facts, and info about the fun sounding pumpkin Regattas.
