Watermelon Wishes
by: Lisa Moser
Illustrated by: Stacey Schuett
Age:K-2

With beautiful illustrations of a watermelon garden, this book keeps the reader going with vivid images of watching the way that plants are cultivated and grown. The reader follows throught the book, watching the relationship of a grandson and grandfather grow strong, much like the watermelons that they are trying to grow. This book would be great for talking about relationships that children build with thier family members and the activities that they may participate in with family. The plant growing aspect of this book would also be great for a science unit that is less focused on the specifics of how to grow plants and more of an example of what the experience is like. This book would be great for lower elementary students.
