(2) K-3 Classroom pet guinea pig Herky gets a gardening itch after he watches the first graders' seeds grow. Off in the country for summer vacation, he plants some pumpkin seeds with his rabbit friend Daisy. Most pumpkin books focus on the end product; this one focuses on the joys and challenges of the gardening process, and Duke communicates Herky's every feeling with deftly expressive lines.
