CBC Showcase: Nonfiction Picture Books
From seed to jack-o'-lantern, Ken Robbins' beautiful photographs capture the emblem of Halloween: the pumpkin.
written and with photographs by Ken Robbins
From late summer to Thanksgiving, pumpkins are everywhere, a symbol of fall and a reminder of the holidays to come. In this handsome book, Ken Robbins—widely known for his sumptuous photo-essays on subjects ranging from trucks to tools to autumn leaves—portrays the pumpkin from seed, to sprout, to flower, to fully-fledged fruit, and back again. Instructions are given to safely carve a jack-o-lantern. As always in a book by Ken Robbins, a simple—but never simplistic—text is accompanied by luscious photographs.
