My five year old loved this book. A great summer read for when we are all enjoying watermelon. It makes a kid think of that ever confusing question what happens when you swallow a watermelon seed. I remember thinking about it when I was a kid and now my kids do too. Very cute.
The book is simple and cute. It's the book Niki (age3) reaches for when he comes to play, which is several times a week, and he wants it read over and over. Especially when he is eating watermelon. Although, the concept is a bit stretched with today's ubiquitous seedless melons!
This book will be a forever wonderful memory in our family because this is one of the two books my daughter fell in love with and was part of the duo of books she insisted be read to her every evening before bed. This is the first book that she likes to point and repeat the words out loud to so this story truly engages her from cover to cover. We first borrowed this book from the library and now we have our own copy for my daughters growing library.
My boy/girl grandtwins are almost 3 and love this book. They laugh out loud when I act out the burp, and I have heard them reciting the story to themselves while they play with their toys. Plus, it's cute enough that I don't mind reading it over and over as they request!
What happens when you swallow a watermelon seed? A lot of anxiety and a lot of laughs in the hands of author-illustrator Greg Pizzoli. Everyday worries from vines growing out your ears to potentially ending up in a fruit salad are detailed in simple three-color spreads with lots of white space. Perfect for preschoolers and their parents!
I bought this book for my preschool summer unit on Watermelons. What a sweet book! The children loved it. The book came quickly and is well constructed. I am absolutely pleased with the whole experience.
This book is my five year old daughter's absolute favorite. We first found it when she checked it out at the Public Library. She loved it so much that we read it over and over and I knew we needed to own it. She thinks it is so funny and laughs and laughs as we read it.
We are huge watermelon fans in this family, so I knew I HAD to buy this book when I saw it! It did not disappoint. My 19 month old loves it and we have a great time reading it. She grabs at it often, so I know it's one of her favorites. Such a fun book.
