How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?

(3) K-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Mr. Tiffin brings three pumpkins to school. To calculate how many seeds are in each, the students scoop out the seeds and begin counting by twos, fives, and tens. Charlie, the smallest student, figures out the littlest pumpkin actually has the most seeds. Fall-hued gouache, acrylic, and pencil illustrations add personality to this story of math, science, and self-discovery.
