The Pumpkin Book
By Gail Gibbons

This is one of the few pumpkin books which explains that pumpkins are a member of the squash family and that there are different varieties and each has a different purpose. As with her other books, Gail does a great job of getting the information correct. This book provides a nice overview of how pumpkins grown, their history, uses, and includes a few fun activities.
