    A heartwarming tale of planting, growing, and sharing—perfect for celebrating gardening, harvest time, and the joys of fall!

    After planting the seeds and watching them grow, huge pumpkins appear in a patch. Now we can make pumpkin pie and jack-o'-lanterns! Planting a garden is so much fun, and this rhyming reader shows us how. Perfect for autumn read-alouds, classroom lessons, and cozy family storytimes, it’s a timeless reminder of how patience and care bring wonderful rewards.

    Reader Level 2: Level 2 is for Progressing Readers who can read longer sentences with simple dialogue. These books offer pictures and context clues, in-depth plot development, and are available in both fiction and nonfiction books.
