Pumpkin Circle: The Story of a Garden

Had the video on VHS years go, but can’t play it anymore. Loved the book. Thanks!

This book is one of my favorites for the Autumn/Harvestvseason. With it’s colorful and bold photographs It helps children to gain an understanding of the life cycle of a pumpkin.

I love that this book shows the lifecycle of a pumpkin in an entertaining way.

Where does life begin? How does life evolve? When does life begin again? These are questions that children and adults seek answers to. In Pumpkin Circle by George Levenson and Shmuel Thaler, the circle of life is showcased through vividly detailed photos that are punctuated by the well-chosen words that dance across the pages.The book begins with a cascade of pumpkins tumbling across a two page spread. The stage has now been set. Immediately following this introduction, Levenson and Thaler lead the reader on a guided tour of a pumpkin patch that progresses from the long lazy days of summer to the crisp and fleeting days of fall. Leaves grow. Blossoms bloom. Pumpkins swell. Vines fade. Pumpkins are harvested. Yet, that is not the end of the story. Whether you are a curious child or an inquisitive adult, read this story to discover how the circle of life begins again.As an added bonus, Levenson’s and Shmuel’s photographs cleverly obscure the identity of the pumpkin farmer. By doing so, the reader is invited to place himself in the role of the gardener. So, go ahead— carve into that freshly harvested pumpkin. But don’t forget to save some of the seeds to start your own Pumpkin Circle next spring.THE DETAILS:Word count: 459 (excluding fact page at the end of the story)Average words per page: 12Extra value: breathtaking photography, rich vocabulary, fun subject material.

This book is a good one for a kindergarten or first grade classroom book. Not one to gift for Halloween, though.
