(3) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by James Graham Hale. Clearly, simply, and accurately, this book explains how pumpkins grow from seeds. Complex processes such as transpiration are presented in everyday language, and selection of detail is balanced and helpful. Illustrations of a farmer, his dog, and a trio of children done in soft colors enliven the account. A recipe and experiment conclude the book.
