It's the Great Pumpkin!

Can a book about people who grow giant pumpkins be more of a page-turner than a James Patterson novel? And the answer is . . . YES! Backyard Giants by Susan Warren mostly follows a father and son team as they attempt to set the yearly record for largest pumpkin. And by large, we're talking over well over 1,000 pounds. Will they finally win? Will their pumpkins fall apart at the last minute (as happened before)?

You'll never look at a pumpkin the same way again.

i can't vote for "which blog is better" because daddy did it already and i don't know how to get another vote on the computer. but if you want to know, i would vote for "i refuse to...".

what is the name of the book you are talking aobut, "it's the great pumpkin" or "backyard giants"? it sounds interesting and i would like to read it. it make me think of the contest for the biggest ppumpkin at the old bethpage restoration.
