Bookroo's summary

What if colossal pumpkins adorned America's iconic landmarks? From the Capitol dome to the Grand Canyon, explore a whimsical world where size knows no bounds. Discover the latest craze in giant pumpkin contests and let your imagination soar as these massive gourds redefine famous landscapes. Dive into a playful exploration of scale and wonder, filled with fascinating facts and larger-than-life visions.

From the publisher

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.
