Explore How Pumpkins Grow

The Prized Pumpkin is a free downloadable fiction middle grade book (available in English and Spanish) featuring two friends who have a friendly pumpkin growing competition.

Throughout the book our two friends learn about pumpkin cultivators, how to control pumpkin pests, the best place to grow a pumpkin, the best soil for growing pumpkins, and also how to be a good friend.

We are proud to announce the addition of a free online learning module to accompany the book The Prized Pumpkin.

The FREE learning module, available in English and Spanish reads the book to students and engages them with information about:

• pumpkin varieties
• choosing the best kind of pumpkin to plant
• learning about careers in agriculture like agronomist and beekeepers
• the life cycle of a pumpkin
• what to do if your pumpkin plant dies
• pests that love pumpkins, and much more.

So if you want your students in grades 3-5th to learn more about pumpkins - look no further than The Prized Pumpkin learning module.
