Pumpkins

by Ken Robbins

Pumpkins Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lush photos and poetic text make this the pick of the crop of books for pumpkin season!

 

Ken Robbins is widely known for his sumptuous photo essays on numerous subjects of interest to kids. Here he tackles one of everyone’s favorite autumn arrivals—pumpkins. 

From late summer to Thanksgiving, pumpkins are everywhere, a symbol of fall and a reminder of the holidays to come. In this handsome book, Ken Robbins—widely known for his sumptuous photo-essays on subjects ranging from trucks to tools to autumn leaves—portrays the pumpkin from seed, to sprout, to flower, to fully fledged fruit, and back again. Instructions are given to (safely) carve a jack-o’-lantern.

Synopsis:

Striking, full-color photographs show the lifespan of a pumpkin from a tiny seed to a blooming vine, then a small gourd, and finally a jack-o-lantern lighting up a dark Halloween night, in this beautiful picture book. Includes instructions on how to safely carve a jack-o-lantern.
