How many seeds in a Pumpkin by Margaret McNamara, illustrated by G.Brian Karas:

I found this gem in the library while hunting for books about pumpkins for my son’s class. I loved the story, the characters, the counting lessons it packs in, and the message the book has for young and adult readers.

Mr.Tiffin, the teacher has presented a small, medium, and large pumpkin to the class and asks them to guess how many seeds there are in each. Everyone makes a guess, then they dig into the pumpkins, separate the seeds, and count by twos, fives, and tens. Charlie, the smallest boy in the class, picks the smallest pumpkin and counts by tens. He is pleasantly surprised to discover that the smallest pumpkin is the one with the most seeds. Along with being informational, the story, through Charlie’s eyes, highlights an important lesson of self-worth and confidence for everyone.
