    Highly fact based (has few or no narrative moments)

What type of book is it?

    How-toos

Articulate Appeal

    It reads really fast, certain sections based on what the reader is looking for may take longer. 

    The description focuses on pumpkins. The other is on the designer (the reader). 

    Fun and exciting. 

    The book's intent is to teach readers about different pumpkin design elements, such as painting and craving. 

    It includes some great pictures of creative pumpkin designs. The instructions are clear and precise, along with multiple step-by-step instructions. 

    The language is important since it describes how to do something. 

    The setting is not that important. The focus is more on the subject matter, while the setting is a blank canvas. 

    Lots of details about painting instructions and tools for carving small sections and what type of paint to use. 

    There are lots of pictures. They are clear and useful on what to do. 

    It stresses learning and experiences because it focuses on learning new material and taking previous experiences to accomplish tasks and design elements. 

Why would a reader enjoy this book? 

1. Learning/experiencing     2. Detail    3. Tone
