  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Radio Eye's Children's Story Hour. As
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a reminder, Radio Eye is a reading service intended for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: people who are blind or have other disabilities that make
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it difficult to read printed materials. Today, we will be
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: reading about pumpkins. Your reader today is Patty. We will
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: start with the book called From Seed to Pumpkin. The
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: author of this book is Wendy Pfeffer. The illustrator is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: James Graham Hale. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers in 2004.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Let's begin. When spring winds warm the earth, a farmer
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: plants hundreds of pumpkin seeds. Every pumpkin seed can become
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a baby pumpkin plant. Underground, covered with dark, moist soil,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the baby plants begin to grow. As the plants get bigger,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the seeds crack open. Stems sprout up. Roots dig down.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Inside the roots are tubes. water travels up these tubes
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the way juice goes up a straw. The illustration here
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: shows many pumpkin seeds, and it's a cross-section of the earth.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So you see that the seeds are underground, and they
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: have little tiny roots that have begun to grow and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: little sprouts coming out the top. In less than two
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: weeks from planting time, green shoots poke up through the earth.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: These shoots grow into tiny seedlings. Two leaves called seed
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: leaves uncurl on each stem. They reach up toward the sun.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows three children out in the pumpkin patch.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And they're looking at these little seedlings that have popped
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: up through the earth. And the sun is shining brightly
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: down onto the earth. Sunlight gives these leaves energy to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: make food. Like us, plants need food to grow. But
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: green plants do not eat food as we do. Their
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: leaves make it. To make food, plants need light, water,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and air. Leaves catch the sunlight. Roots soak up the rainwater.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And little openings in the leaves let air in. Using
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: energy from the sun, the leaves mix the air with
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: water from the soil to make sugar. This feeds the plant.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: broad prickly leaves with jagged edges unfold on the stems.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The seed leaves dry up. Now the new leaves make
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: food for the pumpkin plant. The illustration here shows a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: pumpkin plant. So the little tiny seed leaves are brown
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and drooping now, but above it are all these other
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: beautiful large green leaves that have formed and they have
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: jagged edges. Each pumpkin stem has many sets of tubes.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: One tube in each set takes water from the soil
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: up to the leaves so they can make sugar. The
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: other tube in each set sends food back down so
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the pumpkin can grow. The days grow warmer. The farmer
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: tends the pumpkin patch to keep weeds out. Weeds take
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: water from the soil. The pumpkin plants need that water
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to grow. The illustration here shows the farmer working in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: his pumpkin patch. Along beside him is a dog who's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: sniffing around. But the farmer has a hoe and he's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: trying to dig out all the weeds so that they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: don't interfere with the beautiful pumpkin plants. Pumpkin plants don't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: stand up tall. As the stems grow longer, they sprawl
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: all over the ground. Before long, twisted, tangled vines cover
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the pumpkin patch. Flower buds appear on the vines. After
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: each bud opens, its orange petals grow bigger and bigger.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: They look like bright orange umbrellas. The illustration here shows
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the three children once again in the pumpkin patch. Two
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of the boys are lying down in the pumpkin patch
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and the girl is running around. But they're looking at
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the beautiful leaves and at the orange flowers that are
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: appearing on the stalks. They have five petals on the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: blooming flower, on the vines. Beautiful orange color. During the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: heat of the day, the flowers close. They open again
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: during the cool nights and early mornings. The bright flowers
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Orange flowers attract swarms of bees. The bees buzz about
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: carrying yellow pollen from male flowers to female flowers. Now
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: pumpkins can grow. The petals wither away. Where the flowers bloomed,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: tiny hard fruits begin to grow. Hundreds of these cling
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to the vines. The days grow hot. All summer, the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: warm sun and the cool rain help the tiny fruits
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: grow larger and larger. Now the illustration shows those same
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: three children in the pumpkin patch. But now the vines
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: are even larger and the leaves are larger. And there's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not many yellow flowers left, but in place of them
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: are the tiny green pumpkins the dog is there in
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the patch with them too soon summer is over the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: corn stalks next to the pumpkin patch turn brown leaves
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on trees turn red orange and yellow pumpkins change color
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: too as they ripen they change from green to yellow
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: then to orange In just four months, small, flat, white
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: pumpkin seeds have grown into big, fat, orange pumpkins. The
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: pumpkins are ripe and round with lumps and bumps. They
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: come in all sizes and shapes, and they're waiting in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the autumn sun. The illustration here shows the three children,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: having lots of fun in the pumpkin patch. The dog
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is standing there watching them as well. Some of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: pumpkins are very small and some are large, large enough
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that the girl is actually sitting on one. Some pumpkins
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: will be carved into jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween. Some will be
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: baked into pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. Colorful leaves turn brown,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: winter winds begin to blow, and soon the trees are bare.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: The farmer looks out over the pumpkin patch where only
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a few dead vines remain. But when spring winds warm
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the earth once again, he will plant hundreds of pumpkin seeds,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and once again they will grow from seed to pumpkin.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Now we have some pages that tell us to find
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: out more about pumpkins. The seed-bearing part of any flowering
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: plant is called its fruit. Because a pumpkin has seeds
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in the middle, it is really a fruit. Tomatoes, cucumbers,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and pea pods are fruits too. Because they are not
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: sweet like other fruits, We often call them vegetables. Now
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we have a section called roasted pumpkin seeds. When you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: carve your jack-o'-lantern, save the seeds you scoop out. Wash
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the pulp off, then let them dry. Pumpkin seeds are
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: filled with vitamins and minerals, so they are good to eat.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You will need one cup of pumpkin seeds, paper towels,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: one half teaspoon salt, two teaspoons cooking oil, a mixing bowl,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and a cookie sheet. Number one, ask an adult to help.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Number two, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Number three,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: wash the seeds and pat them dry between paper towels.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Number four, mix seeds, salt, and cooking oil together in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a bowl. Number five, spread the mixture on a cookie sheet.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Number six, bake 15 minutes. Stir, bake 15 minutes more. 7.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Let them cool, then enjoy the crispy golden treats. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: here's a section called How Plants Drink Water. Pumpkin roots
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: have tubes. They drink water from the ground the way
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you drink water with a straw. A celery stalk has
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: tubes too. They are also connected to roots. so the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: celery plant can drink water from the ground. You can
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: see how the tube's in a stalk of celery. You
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: will need several celery stalks, a sharp knife, red or
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: blue food coloring, a glass half full of water. Pull
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of stalks off the bunch of celery. Ask
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: an adult to help you cut them straight across the bottom.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Pour a few drops of red or blue food coloring
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in the water and stir. Place the celery stalks in
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the water with the cut ends down. Wait about an hour.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: See how the colored water has gone up the tubes
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the celery. Take one of the stalks of celery
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: from the water and break it in half. Look for
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the tubes now. See how the color water has traveled
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: up there. And that's the end of this book called
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: From Seed to Pumpkin. And now we're going to read
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: another book. This is a story called Runaway Pumpkins. This
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: book was written by Teresa Bateman, illustrated by Stephanie Fizer Coleman,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: published by Charles Bridge Publishing, in 2020 runaway pumpkins from
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the inside from front cover pumpkins here pumpkins there pumpkins
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: rolling everywhere school field trips are so much fun visiting
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the farm and choosing a pumpkin is everyone's favorite activity
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: but when the school bus arrives back at school Oh no,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the pumpkins are gone. The only one left is the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: giant pumpkin strapped to the roof of the bus. What now?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Sharing adventures in pumpkins with friends and neighbors is the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: best part of autumn. So now let's read Runaway Pumpkins.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Leaves are twirling to the ground. Teachers call out all around.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Grab your lunch. The bus is here. Everybody gives a cheer.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Load them up, the driver calls. Students flow from tiled halls. Thump, thump,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: thump in merry pairs. Tennis shoes on metal stairs. The
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: illustration here shows the big yellow school bus pulled up
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: in front of the school. and lots of students, young children,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: are coming out of the school. Each of them has
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a buddy, so they're in a pair, and they're walking
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: toward the school bus. The bus driver is standing near
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the open doors, and the teacher has her clipboard, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: she's marking off the names of the students as they
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: get onto the bus. Windows fog as faces grin. The
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: field trip's ready to begin. Doors swing closed and hatches latch. Bump, bump,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: bump to the pumpkin patch. Driving through the countryside, everyone
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: enjoys the ride. Children chuckle, chitter, chatter. Noisy, but it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Picking pumpkins, we'll have fun. Why can't I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: choose more than one? The illustration here shows the children
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: sitting very nicely inside the bus on their seats next
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to their buddy or their partner. And they're all looking outside,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: watching the fall leaves falling from the trees of orange, yellow,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and green. At the farm, doors open wide. All the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: children rush outside. Students run and point and call. It's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: turned into a free-for-all. Pumpkins big and pumpkins tiny. Short
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and fat and dull and shiny. Bumpy, lumpy, straight or curvy.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Really round or topsy-turvy. Children dash by, laughing, quick. This one,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that one, which to pick? The illustration here shows all
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the children at the pumpkin patch, and they're running through
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the patch trying to decide which pumpkin they're going to choose.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Standing next to the big yellow bus is the bus driver,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and there's the teacher still holding her clipboard, but she's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: watching the children carefully as they run through the pumpkin patch.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: At last, each student finds the one, the perfect pumpkin.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Searching's done. Wave to pigs out in the sty. Time
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to tell the cows goodbye. The illustration here shows all
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the different children, each doing a different thing. A pair
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of boys is pulling a wagon with pumpkins in it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: A boy and a girl each have their pumpkins that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they're carrying. that they have chosen from the pumpkin patch.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: The girl has a large one. The boy has selected
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a tiny pumpkin. Another part of this illustration shows a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: girl sitting on a giant pumpkin reading a book. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: then there's some children who have wandered over to the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: animals and they're saying goodbye to some pigs that are
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: inside the pigsty and a cow who's standing next to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the fence. Loading up, they shove and wiggle. Children tease
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and joke and giggle. Everyone says, Hooray! What a prodigious
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: pumpkin day! In this illustration, the big yellow school bus
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: is being loaded with the pumpkins that all the students
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: have selected. Most of the pumpkins are going down below
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: in long compartments called hatches. And you can see the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: pumpkins already loaded in these hatches down below near the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: tires of the school bus. But up at the top,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: One pumpkin is way too big to fit into one
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of the hatches or the compartments down below. So it
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: is being pulled up on top of the school bus.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And I imagine it will be tied down with certain
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: kinds of ropes or bungee cords. The teacher is still
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: standing there with her clipboard, helping the children get onto
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the bus once their pumpkins have been loaded. Eyes are shining,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: smiles gleam. Each student has a pumpkin dream of funny, weird,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: or scary faces, even ears in funny places. The illustrations
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: here show each child and above that child's head is
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: what the child might be imagining their pumpkin to look
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: like once they've carved it into a jack-o'-lantern. A young
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: girl is imagining that she's going to carve her pumpkin
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to look like a cat, and she's added pointed ears
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: on the top. Another boy has his pumpkin cut with
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a very scary mouth. Another boy just painted black stripes
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: on the pumpkin. He didn't seem like he wanted to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: cut his pumpkin at all. Here's a girl who has
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: carved the eyes of her jack-o'-lantern into hearts. And then
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there's a boy here who carved the eyes of his
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: jack-o'-lantern with stars. And then there's a girl who's thought
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: about maybe she'll make her pumpkin a mouse. And she
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: might add ears and a little nose to her pumpkin.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: There's a boy who thinks that maybe he might make
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: his pumpkin look like an owl by making great big
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: owl eyes. and another boy who envisions his pumpkin painted
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: scary with big black teeth and big wide eyes. Going
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: back to school, aglow, plans are bubbling, but oh no!
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Latches holding hatches tight were almost fastened, but not quite.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows the school bus rolling down the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: hilly road, but the latches on the hatches down below,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the compartments below the seat, have opened and all of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the pumpkins are rolling out and down a hill. No
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: one seems to notice as they're riding on the bus.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Pumpkins here, pumpkins there, pumpkins rolling everywhere. Leaping lawn gnomes,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: striking chairs, charging into wicker chairs. When, at last, they
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: come to rest, they're bruised and busted. What a mess.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows all of the pumpkins who have
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: rolled down the hill from the bus. Some of them
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: have broken and shattered into lots and lots of pieces
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and created a big mess. Some have bumped into chairs.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: One has even landed in the seat of a chair.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And some people have yard gnomes in their yard and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a pumpkin has knocked one over. Neighbors see the big snafu.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The bus is gone. Now what to do? These pumpkins
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: found our cul-de-sac. What if the children want them back?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: The neighbors come up with a plan to do the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: very best they can. They gather pumpkins all a-tizzy, take
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: them home, and then get busy. The illustration here shows
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: all the neighbors who live where these pumpkins have landed,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: coming outside and gathering them up into baskets and buckets,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and all the pieces are scattered all over the yards.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Back to school, cries of woe. Where did all the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: pumpkins go? I wish I knew, a teacher sighs. I'm
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: sorry for this sad surprise. The children slump in misery.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Then Kim perks up. Just look and see. A single
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: pumpkin's on the bus. It's big enough for all of us.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows the school bus and all the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: children who have gotten on. Just looking so surprised that
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: all the pumpkins are gone from the compartments below the bus.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But up on top of the bus is that one
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: giant pumpkin that was tied on top. It's still there.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: The children come up with a plan to do the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: very best they can. They get out paper, paints, and glue.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Each student has a job to do. Talking, laughing, everyone
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: is joining in and having fun. The illustration here shows
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the children gathered around the giant pumpkin. And they're carrying
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: all their paints and markers and streamers. And they've gotten
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: together to decorate this pumpkin into a giant jack-o'-lantern. The
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: next day is the harvest fair. And look who's here
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: with food to share. The neighbors in a big parade
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: bring all the pumpkin foods they made. The illustration here
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: shows all the neighbors who picked up the pieces of
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: those broken pumpkin. And they have made pumpkin muffins and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: cookies and cakes. And they're bringing them all to the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: harvest fair to share with the children. And in the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: background is the giant pumpkin that the children had decorated.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And it has a blue ribbon on it that says,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Best Pumpkin Ever. There's pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie, pumpkin
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: cake and pumpkin fries, pumpkin ice cream, cookies too. Is
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that pumpkin barbecue? The students rejoiced. What a happy surprise!
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Our pumpkins are back, but they came in disguise. Everyone
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: sits while they pass round the treats, and students and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: neighbors all grin as they eat. Yet one smile is
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: wider than all the rest. It's the one on the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: face of the most honored guest. And the illustration here
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: shows all the children and all the neighbors sitting together,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: eating all those wonderful pumpkin treats. And the honored guest
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is the giant pumpkin that the children all decorated. And
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: here at the end of the book, there's a recipe
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: for making some pumpkin treats. Always get help from a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: grown-up before using the oven or baking. These are pumpkin cookies.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: You take four cups of flour, two teaspoons of baking soda,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: one teaspoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of salt, two cups
• 26:53
