Oh no! I swallowed a seed! 

The new book, The Watermelon Seed, by Greg Pizzoli will sure to have you giggling. With perfect comic timing, Greg Pizzoli introduces us to one funny crocodile who has one big fear: swallowing a watermelon seed. Since he loves watermelon for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, he eats it all of the time. But he's worried he'll swallow a seed because he eats so much watermelon. Gulp! I swallowed a seed!

What will he do when his greatest fear is realized? Will vines sprout out his ears? Will his skin turn pink? This crocodile has a wild imagination that kids will love.
With bold color and beautiful sense of design, Greg Pizzoli's picture book debut takes this familiar childhood worry and gives us a true gem in the vein of I Want My Hat Back and Not a Box.
