Noura is a young girl who loves watermelon to the exclusion of all other food. When her family offers her chicken and other foods, she screams only for watermelon. Her mother uses reverse psychology, but it backfires as Noura only dreams of too much watermelon. The book concludes with Noura eating a egg for breakfast.
This is a very cute story with amazing illustrations. It will be enjoyed by many preschool children, as most can probably relate to preferred foods. I really enjoyed the book and the dream sequence. Five stars!

Watermelon Madness is all about a little girl named Noura who thinks watermelon is pretty much the best food ever. So much so that it's really the only food she wants to eat, much to her parents' dismay. One night Noura tucks a whole watermelon under her bed to save it all for herself. This leads to a somewhat trippy (in the good way) dream wherein Noura tries to eat the entire watermelon by herself. The dream turns bad and a tummy ache ensues. This helps Noura come to the understanding that all good things should be had in moderation.

Adorable illustrations make this a fun little read with a gentle message.

Noura loves watermelon. It's her favorite thing in the whole world, and she's quite correct because watermelon is the best fruit, ever. Seriously, no other fruits hold a candle to watermelon. Have you ever put a watermelon in the fridge then sliced it up on a hot summer day? It is the best. Once, when I was living without air conditioning, that's what I'd do for a treat when it got real hot outside. Nothing is as refreshing as cold watermelon...

Anyway. Noura loves watermelon to the point where she won't eat anything but watermelon, which is not a great idea. When she endeavors to eat a whole watermelon by herself, Noura learns that some things are best enjoyed in moderation.

Loved Watermelon Madness - absolutely adorable, loved the illustrative style.

I ate a whole watermelon by myself once. It was awesome.
