See how a pumpkin grows! First graders can read this book on their own! Take a pole. Poke a hole. Drop a seed. Pull a weed. Before long, a sprout comes out. There's sun and rain, and a vine grows. There are blooms and bees, and then--BOOM! A pumpkin!
This book aligns with the science of reading. Phonics features of every word are listed. Offers phonics practice with long vowels. David L. Harrison is an award-winning poet and picture book author who holds a degree in science. Cute farmer mice in Alice Feagan's cheerful illustrations are fun for children to follow! The books in the award-winning I Like to Read(R) series build vocabulary and promote fluency, which are essential for reading success. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high-quality books that are fun for kids to read again and again with their parents, teachers or on their own!
