How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow? Hardcover - 2013

by Wendell Minor; Wendell Minor (Illustrator)

Award-winning artist Minor celebrates America's love of big pumpkins and imagines larger-than-life pumpkins decorating some of America's favorite placesNas high as the tallest lighthouse, as immense as the Capitol dome, even as colossal as the Grand Canyon! Full color.


Summary

Every year, giant pumpkin contests take place at fairs across the country—the 2012 record-holder weighed over a ton! The latest craze is to carve the most enormous pumpkins into racing boats. But what’s next? Why not think really big? Award-winning artist Wendell Minor does just that as he imagines larger-than-life pumpkins decorating some of America’s favorite places—as immense as the Capitol dome, Mount Rushmore, the Brooklyn Bridge, even the Grand Canyon! This celebration of famous landmarks and landscapes plays with concepts of size and scale and is full of fun facts.

Media reviews

“Beautifully illustrated book. . . . In addition to enjoying Minor’s gouache and watercolor illustrations, readers are provided with fun facts about over a dozen places in the United States. . . . Would also provide a useful introduction to synonyms, sprinkling words like ‘enormous,’ ‘gigantic,’ ‘jumbo,’ ‘immense,’ and ‘colossal’ throughout the text.”
