In this young science book a small mouse and a big beautiful cat plant pumpkin seeds in a pot and step by step show the young reader how to grow seeds. Of course, it may be a stretch to call a cat and mouse friendship a science book, yet this furry partnership does tell the very simple but clear story of how to plant a pumpkin. There is no drama, yet the expressions on Cat's face and the friendship between the two has a quiet charm. Anne Mortimer's quizzical looking cat is so lovable you want to reach in and pat his head. 4 & up.
