The Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

By Teresa Mummert

Sometimes the best surprises grow from a little accident.

The Trip to the Pumpkin Patch invites young readers along on a heartwarming family adventure to find the perfect pumpkin. From the excitement of a hayride to the thrill of searching row after row of pumpkins in every size and color, this book captures the magic of an autumn tradition. But when something unexpected happens, a moment of disappointment becomes a surprising discovery, one that opens a child's eyes to the hidden life inside a pumpkin and the quiet miracle of how things grow.

This is not just a story about a trip to the farm. It is a gentle introduction to seeds, planting, and the patience a garden asks of us. Your child will see how a single afternoon can become a season of learning, connecting the joy of fall with the science of spring.

Teresa Mummert wrote and illustrated this book using real photographs from her own family's visit to the pumpkin patch, bringing an authentic, hands-on warmth to every page.

Read it before your next trip to the farm, and watch your child look at every pumpkin a little differently.
