review 1: How big could a pumpkin grow? In this story that stretches readers' imaginations, gigantic pumpkins are found throughout the United States -- hiding behind the Capitol Dome, towering over the Grand Canyon, and showing up in unexpected places. The end notes include information about where each pumpkin is found. I really like this ideas as a jumping off point for an elementary school research project (cities, states, or landmarks) but I suspect that the text is too juvenile to capture the interest of students in grades 3 - 5. This book is best for and will appeal to students in preschool through grade 1.
review 2: This simple book provide vivid pictures and ideas about giant pumpkins. It would be a nice storytime presentation by itself for the youngest audie... morences, but could easily be extended to older readers with extensions.Pair this with explorations about the places represented. Readers could gather clues from the book to identify these celebrations or landmarks across the US. Then locate them on a map.I will definitely be getting this book for my school library! less
