How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?

by Margaret Mcnamara

How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"HOW MANY SEEDs in a pumpkin?" Mr. Tiffin asks his class as they gather around the big, medium, and small pumpkins on his desk. Robert, the biggest kid, guesses that the largest one has a million seeds; Elinor, sounding like she knows what she's talking about, guesses the medium one has 500 seeds; and Anna, who likes even numbers better than odd ones, guesses that the little one has 22. Charlie, the smallest boy in the class, doesn't have a guess. Counting pumpkin seeds is messy business, but once the slimy job is done, to everyone's surprise, the smallest pumpkin has the most seeds! As Charlie happily exclaims, "Small things have a lot going on inside of them."

Synopsis:

Pumpkins, counting, and simple science concepts add up to this child-friendly picture book from the author of the popular Robin Hill School early reader series and the award-winning illustrator of "Are You Going to Be Good?" Full color.
