When PICK A PUMPKIN was chosen as an Illinois Reads selection for 2020-2021, it was also selected as the Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom book. I soon discovered that Illinois is the #1 pumpkin producing state! And Morton, Illinois, home of Libby's Pumpkin, is the "pumpkin capital of the world." Libby's produces more than 85% of the world's canned pumpkin.

The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program has produced a terrific Ag Mag (agriculture magazine for kids) that is chock-full of information about pumpkins. Click here to find the Pumpkin Ag Mag.
