The Watermelon Seed


The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli
Published by Disney Hyperion Books
2013
Shelf: Picture Books

Opening Line: "I love watermelon!"

Blurb:
This croc loves watermelon! He loves it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He's loved it since he was a teeny tiny crocodile. But, what happens the day he swallows a seed? Will a whole plant grow inside of him? Is his love affair with watermelon over?

Within its pages:
Pizzoli's bright and clean illustrations with close-ups of the croc's facial expressions allow even the youngest of readers to fully grasp the hilarity of the situation. 



The croc's dramatic tendencies and exaggerations are cleverly delivered in sharp and quick lines.

Shelf it!
The watermelon Seed it's a hilarious book.  I've shared it multiple times with tiny bookies at home and at school and they keep asking for it.  Great picture book to read and share during the hot summer days accompanied by a nice cool watermelon slice!
