It’s Pumpkin Time! by Zoe Hall – a simple books about the life cycle of a pumpkin

From Seed to Pumpkin by Wendy Pfeffer- another simple book about the pumpkin life cycle

The Pumpkin Book by Gail Gibbons – Like many of Gail Gibbon’s books, there’s SO much info packed into this book! Great for 2nd and 3rd graders as well!

How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? by Margaret McNamara- Do you know what determines the amount of seeds in a pumpkin? I do after reading this book, which also incorporates math concepts with pumpkins.
