Patty's Pumpkin Patch

Summary: pumpkins, alphabets, insects and more
Review: If you are looking for a wonderful autumn book that is entertaining and educational, look no more.
Patty's pumpkin patch is wonderfully illustrated and maps out the entire life cycle of a pumpkin plant from seeds and planting to the actual growth and harvest. In addition to giving a simplified view of plant growth cycles the author cleverly introduces every letter of the alphabet and an illustration of its example on the bottom of each page. As an added treat it even includes traditons revolved around pumpkins like jack-o-latern carving and roasting pumpkin seeds.
Cheerfully written, wonderfully illustrated, entertaining and informative.

Summary: Harvestime at it's best
Review: Never has autumn looked so alluring. A delightfully created watercolor, acrylic and oil pastel artistic masterpiece combined with a rhyming, alphabetical story about a pumpkin patch.

Wonderous to look at and read. Youngsters will be amused at all the tiny details from ladybugs and dragonflies to wrens and xylem leaves.

This book would be a perfect prelude to the closing of autumn or a visit to a real pumpkin patch.
