Let’s talk pumpkins! This cute little is book is about teaching patience and the importance of nurturing plants to kids. The author chose a pumpkin for her book. She has also shared fun facts towards the end.
The book is simple, sweet, and easy to follow for little kiddos. The illustrations are cute when you look at them the second time.
While I know about pumpkin competitions, racing in rivers by floating on the pumpkin is something totally new to me. It sounds like a fun activity.
In my country, India, pumpkin is used more like a vegetable (though it is a fruit). The orange, green, yellow, and white (ash gourd) variants are used almost throughout the year. We make quite a few dishes with pumpkin. The Halloween carving is, of course, nothing something very common.
I remember we had the pumpkin creeper in our kitchen garden when I was a kid. My grandparents’ home had a couple of them. Almost every home until a few decades ago had a kitchen garden, and pumpkin was an inherent member of it.
This was a sweet book to read, and I went back in time to my childhood for a few minutes.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Capstone Editions and am voluntarily leaving a review.
