(2) PS In early spring, a farmer (pictured as a Border Collie bearing a passing resemblance to Wolff's Miss Bindergarten) plants a pumpkin patch. Determined to protect and nurture the crop, the farmer enlists the help of curious onlookers: "You want to help a pumpkin grow?" One by one, a crow, rabbit, goose, and goat join in the endeavor, until in the autumn there are plentiful pumpkins to harvest, make pies from (one pie for each animal), and turn into jack-o'-lanterns. "Now we have made our pumpkins...GLOW!" With a jaunty, rhyming text; lush, expressive, acrylic gouache illustrations; a theme celebrating growing things and the spirit of cooperation--and the added bonus of a little mouse to find on every spread.
