How many seeds in a pumpkin
Written by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by
G. Brian Karas
This is an excellent
book, written from an American perspective it introduces the concept
of 'thinking homework', methods of counting, how size doesn't necessarily
denote contents, how pumpkins grow, how their colour is related to
age/time spent on the vine and the how, for each line on the outside
there is a line or row of seeds on the inside!
