La folie de la pastèque

This is a wonderful book about Nina and her enormous love for watermelon. The illustrations are colorful, dynamic and full of adorable details. The narration is to the point and kept my interest high, as I was excited to turn the pages and see what would happen. I particularly enjoyed the educational model from the parents, which is the reason why I'm giving it 5 stars. When Nina insists to get something in particular, both parents listen carefully, then make a decision and stick to it. When something happens during night time, they allow Nina to feel safe and reassured, and then explain that they will talk about it the next morning. That was rare and that was great. Overall, it is a great story about learning to eat a little bit of everything, and not too much of one meal, because it simply feels better.

Thank you NetGalley and Editions Chouette for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
