Growing apples and pumpkins on a farm.

A collection of children's books on the subject of pumpkins.

A young girl spends a glorious fall day picking apples and searching for the perfect pumpkin in this refreshed classic with audio. "When red and yellow leaves are on the trees," a little girl goes with her parents to a farm where they pick apples and choose "the best pumpkin of them all." Back home, she helps to carve a grinning jack-o'-lantern face on the big orange pumpkin, which guards their doorstep on halloween night while her mother hands out shiny red apples and she and her father go trick-or-treating with the neighborhood ghosts and goblins. Bold, autumn-colored paintings and a simple but lively story capture a little girl's joy and satisfaction as she shares in the excitement of the fall season.

Award-winning artist Wendell Minor celebrates America's love for giant pumpkins alongside famous American landmarks and landscapes Every year, giant pumpkin contests take place at fairs across the country—the 2012 record-holder weighed over a ton!

"Minor illustrates this simple text with lush, rich paintings that portray resplendent autumn scenes...This visually stunning book is sure to be a favorite autumn read-aloud."—School Library Journal "A marvelous example of the way seasonal books can enhance the excitement surrounding a holiday."—Booklist
