Reseña del libro "Sam and the Great Pumpkin (en Inglés)"
**How big can a pumpkin grow? Sam is about to find out!**When Pops orders special giant-pumpkin seeds from the seed catalog, Sam gets the project of a lifetime: grow a LEGEND. With the help of his Garden Friends — Charly the praying mantis, Tina the pink spider, Zip the garden snake, Betty the ladybug, and Fred the muskrat — Sam plants the seeds in spring and tends the patch all summer long.There's a drought to beat (and a Great Flood when the irrigation day goes hilariously wrong — Charly captains a leaf, Tina sails her web, and Fred and Zip turn rescuers!). There's a wagon scale to build, three giant pumpkins to name and measure, and a compost bin full of banana peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, grass clippings, earthworms — and one magic ingredient — that turns Sam's pumpkins into rocket-fueled giants.Sam even learns the true story of the biggest pumpkin ever grown — Ron Wallace's world-record 3,156-pounder, the first pumpkin in history over 3,000 pounds — and sets his sights on the State Fair's Great Weigh-Off. And when the fair is over, Sam makes the decision that makes Goliath the champion more than any ribbon could: the great pumpkin goes to the Food Bank, to become pies and bread for families who need them.A warm, funny, real-science adventure about growing, giving, and doing big things together — part of the Sam & the Garden Friends series (Sam's Haunted Barn Party, Sam's Christmas Barn Party), with 100% of the royalties going to the Nasale Saves Lives Initiative Children's Orphanage in Uganda.**Includes a pumpkin word search and a Draw Your Own Great Pumpkin page!**## Details a buyer sees- 89 pages, 17 chapters, 17 illustrations- LARGE PRINT 18pt easy-read type — perfect for young readers, grandparents reading aloud, and low-vision readers- Ages approx. 5–10 (read-aloud 4+)- Real composting and giant-pumpkin science woven into the story, plus the true 3,156-lb world record (Ron Wallace, 2026) Read more
