Parents and Teachers Guide

Noura prefers watermelon to all other foods and insists on eating it alone. Noura puts a watermelon under her bed so she can eat it alone after everyone in the house goes to bed. Something very strange happens: the watermelon grows little by little until it completely fills the room... and this is where the fun begins. The story paves the way for a discussion about children's favorite foods and the importance of a varied and balanced diet. It also encourages them to try other types of food. It can also be used to encourage children to share with others and not hoard things for themselves.
