Illustrated by
Doug Cushman.
From planting to harvest, young horticulturist Evy works single-mindedly in the garden, unaware of the farm animals' outlandish escapades: donkeys, pigs, sheep, and other animals sail, dance, and picnic while the one-note story's slapstick illustrations picture Evy, amid the chaos, reading about pumpkins, planting seedlings, and baking a humongous pumpkin pie. Back matter includes pumpkin recipes, facts, and trivia.
