Beth Charles: Lilly's Surprise Pumpkins, Gebunden

Klappentext

Perfect for autumn storytimes and holiday book read-alouds, this tender picture book stars a young girl who watches over her pumpkin patch and celebrates her well-earned harvest.

When Lilly spots something leafy and green growing from their compost bin she learns--Surprise!--they're pumpkins growing from the mushy jack-o'-lanterns her family tossed in last fall. She takes good care of the little pumpkins all summer, protecting them from creatures who might like a nibble and checking in on their growth. And when, finally, the pumpkins are bright orange and plump and the family has more of the gourds than they can enjoy, what's left to do but share?

Backmatter includes information on gardening and pumpkin recipes.
