Bear's Bargain
by Frank Asch
Bear and Little Bird make a bargain.  Bear will teach Little Bird to grow and Little Bird will teach Bear to fly.
After trying to grow, following Bear's instructions,  Little Bird plants a pumpkin seed.  When it grows, he takes care of it until there is a little pumpkin.  Then they carve an outline of Little Bird on the pumpkin and watch *it* grow!
