The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli

4.0

I don't normally read the Goodreads description for childrens' books, but I read the description for this one and I actually found myself agreeing with it as I read this book. The comedic timing is perfect, the pacing well-structured for reading aloud or for a new reader to read it on their own. The narrating crocodile is a wonderfully imaginative little guy who goes through all the fears most kids have when they swallow a watermelon seed. The book won't lay those worries to rest, but it does make them seem silly... and of course watermelon is too good to resist for long!
