(4) K-3 All spring and summer, two children watch the progress of a mystery vine as their other vegetables sprout ("First came lettuce, / crisp and crunching. / Bright green peas, / so good for munching"). When autumn arrives, they realize the vine is growing pumpkins. Some of the rhymes sound forced, and the subtitle gives the mystery away. Attractive collage illustrations, recipes, and projects are included.
