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® 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!
David L. Harrison's books have received state awards in Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Arizona, South Dakota, Indiana, Texas, Kentucky, and Virginia. Awards also include IRA/CBC Children's Choices, NCTE Notable Poetry Books, and Bank Street College Best Books. The David Harrison Elementary School in Springfield, Missouri, is named in his honor. David lives in Springfield, Missouri.

Alice grew up splashing in creeks, chasing lightening bugs, and creating art in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Her love of nature and all things outdoors is reflected in the mixed media collage illustrations she creates for clients like Kids Can Press, National Geographic Kids Magazine, Ranger Rick Magazine, & Boston Children's Hospital.
