Picking Patch -- Diane Twomley, Paperback

Casey is so excited to pick out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. There are so many kinds to look at-from round and bumpy to skinny and smooth! As Casey makes his way through the patch, he spots a new friend hiding under a wagon, peeking out from behind gourds, and even sitting on top of the pumpkin he decides to choose. At the end of the day, a pumpkin isn't the only thing Casey picks at the patch. Based on a true story, Picking Patch is the perfect fall read for pumpkin and animal lovers alike.
