Pumpkins! Every fall we carve them for jack-o'-lanterns, munch their seeds, and cook delicious things with them. But where do they come from? How do they grow? Close-up and time-lapse photography chart the growth of the pumpkin plant from sprouting seed to maturity. Danny Glover narrates in verse accompanied by George Winston's music.
This resource is age-appropriate and quality is good. I appreciate DCMP! I plan to use the video every year I teach.

So grateful that this is available! Our VHS tape of "Pumpkin Circle" is old, and it's great to actually have captions for it now. Please keep this in the DCMP library.
Thank you.

Pumpkin Circle is a wonderful story of the life cycle of a pumpkin. It appeals to the K-8 audience, but is a great view for anyone.
I use this every year and I will continue to use it as long as it is available.

This is a great program to show students when the weather starts to get colder and we approach Halloween and Thanksgiving. They love the variety of pumpkins and seeing how the life cycle continues.
