About this book
Gourds are colorful, unusual fruits that grow on fast-spreading vines and come in an incredible variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.
Gourds Book for Kids
GOURDS! introduces young readers to these fascinating members of the squash family through beautiful real photographs and engaging, easy-to-understand facts. Kids will discover how gourds grow from seeds, climb with curling tendrils, produce flowers, and develop into hard-shelled fruits.
Inside you'll discover:
- How gourds are related to squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, and melons
- How seeds sprout and vines grow across the ground or up supports
- Why bees and other insects are important for pollinating gourd flowers
- How gourds ripen, harden, and become ready to harvest
- How dried gourds can be turned into crafts, containers, instruments, and tools
Readers will also discover why gourds can be smooth, bumpy, striped, speckled, long, round, or twisted, and how drying changes their color, texture, and structure. From tiny seedlings and bright flowers to strange shapes and hollow dried shells, each page reveals another fascinating part of the gourd life cycle.
This large 8.25" x 8.25" premium photo book uses beautiful full-color real photographs for an educational exploration of gourds, vines, pollination, harvesting, drying, and traditional uses.

Let customers speak for us
A great addition to my grandson’s library. Great learning tool. Will purchase more in the future. Thank you.
These books are well organized, informative, have few words per page (important to some readers) AND the compelling and close up photos prove quite compelling.
I love the book about rabbits!! The photographs are beautiful! I actually bought this book for my elderly sister who has Alzheimer’s. The facility she is in brought rabbits to visit the patients there and she loved them so much! She is enjoying the book now! I think you should market your books for those with Alzheimer’s, too!
My grandson loves the incredible books! He looks on the back of every single book we have and identifies his next choice. He knows all the fun facts about each animal and asks to read them over and over again. The books are just INCREDIBLE! From skunks to hippos to red pandas and every one on his book shelf, he is overjoyed with these amazing books.
Great book , grandson loved it
I love that this book focuses on horses in their natural beauty and state, and not just corralled in human settlements. The pictures are beautiful, and there are interesting facts!
My great nephew will be 3 and he lives birds, especially owls and cardinals (his favorite color is red).I love this owl book and I know he will too! Next is the cardinal book. Thank you for such great books for kids with gorgeous pictures🧡

Both of my grandchildren loved this book as follow up to their zoo experience seeing flamingos in Pittsburgh's aviary. We all gained new knowledge about these birds and enjoyed the photography.
"Backyard Bugs!: A My Incredible World Picture Book for Children" was the perfect addition to my granddaughter's bug-themed party gift basket! This delightful book captured her attention from the moment she laid eyes on it. The colorful illustrations and engaging storyline kept her entertained for hours, sparking her curiosity about the fascinating world of backyard bugs and has become a favorite bedtime story. It's both educational and entertaining, making it a wonderful addition to any child's bookshelf. I couldn't be happier with this choice and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational book for young children!
