About
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app
A watermelon-loving crocodile becomes distraught after swallowing a seed, believing it will grow inside of him.
Told in straight-forward, accessible vocabulary, this innovative look at a childhood fear by debut author Greg Pizzoli creates engaging three-spot color illustrations that are as fresh as a cool slice of watermelon.
Pizzoli’s “The Watermelon Seed” is innovative but with a retro quality that will embrace the emergent reader in this satisfying treat,” said Geisel Award Committee Chair Penny Peck.
