The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli
5.0
What a hilarious, relatable book depicting a crocodile who loves watermelon... and accidentally swallows a watermelon seed. After swallowing the seed, he panics. Will his tummy grow huge? Will vines grow out of his ears? Maybe his skin will turn pink! Maybe he will be put in a fruit salad! But he burps up the seed and vows not to eat watermelon again... but that's a resolution he won't keep.
The illustrations are a perfect complement to this book. They're done in greens, reds, and occasionally black, which are all watermelon colors, which I thought was a very appropriate touch. This book would be fantastic for early readers (K-1st grade), and could even spark a science discussion on what actually happens when you swallow a watermelon seed!
