The Pumpkin Seed's Secret: A Life Cycle Poem - Hannah Barnaby

\nA pumpkin life cycle book with hominess and heart! \n \nIn this rhyming picture book about the life cycle of a pumpkin, a pumpkin becomes something new with each turn of the page, from a flower to a house to a face. Extensive back matter on the pumpkin life cycle, fun pumpkin facts, and a pumpkin seed recipe are included. A perfect book for both home and school libraries. An excellent gift for Halloween or any time of year!\n \nA pumpkin is a seed.\n \nA plain little seed with a secret inside, \n \nA pocket, a pip with a new life to hide.\n \nTo hide and to hold\n \nAs springtime unfolds, \n \nA pumpkin begins as a seed.\n \nA pumpkin is a sprout.\n \nA curious sprout with one leaf and then two, \n \nA budding, a nudging, a slow peekaboo.\n \nHappy for rain\n \nAnd sunshine again, \n \nA pumpkin pops out as a sprout.\n
