K-Gr 3-When is the very best time to start getting ready for Halloween? In the spring, of course, when a tiny seed can have time to grow into a big fat pumpkin. Bright, bold, painted-paper collages capture the excitement of two children as they dig the soil, plant the seed, water, weed, and wait. Vibrantly colored double-page spreads celebrate this first gardening experience as the youngsters watch their vines grow larger and longer and finally blossom. Tiny green pumpkins swell and become huge orange globes that overflow the boundaries of the page. On Halloween, mom and dad help turn them into jack-o-lanterns, and the siblings don their costumes. On a final page, six simple illustrations and brief captions give an exceptionally clear explanation of how a pumpkin seed germinates. Whether as an introduction to gardening or as a Halloween story, this dual-purpose book will be welcomed by the youngest spring gardeners and fall harvesters.-Lisa Wu Stowe, Great Neck Library, NY Copyright 1994 Cahners Business Information.
