5.0 out of 5 stars watermelon for everyone, December 2, 2011
This review is from: Watermelon for Everyone (Paperback)
A father of four and grandfather of three I found the book "Watermelon for Everyone" the most ideal book for their development and pleasure. I highly reccomend this book for anyone seeking to educate and entertain children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Book, September 1, 2013

This review is from: Watermelon for Everyone (Paperback)
Makes me hungry just thumbing through the pages of this delightful book. Watermelon is for everyone. Rarely does anybody say they do not just love watermelon.

Thanks to Martha and Patricia for producing something positive and sweet in a world torn with too much negativity.

You can certainly tell a school teacher had something to do with this book. It is well-organized, has fun activities for students of all ages and it teaches us a thing or two about watermelon. I especially enjoyed making Watermelon Lemonade--what a great treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational & Fun, September 1, 2013
This review is from: Watermelon for Everyone (Paperback)
Woodward said that when she was working on this book, she wanted it to be something that could be used as a teaching tool by parents and teachers. She met this goal and more as this book begins with colorful photos of the various kinds of watermelons and takes children through the life cycle of watermelon as it goes from tiny seeds to plants that develop into something wonderful to eat.

"Watermelon for Everyone" contains 36 pages and is divided into 3 sections: Section One is the basic manuscript of the book that gives facts and information about watermelon. Section Two contains non-cook recipes for fun things the family can do together. Section Three contains lesson plans written many years ago by Woodward and used in her classrooms. Martha says she knows the lesson plans work really well since she used them year after year with hundreds of children.

This book will make a lovely gift for that special person.

5.0 out of 5 stars What the Angels Eat . . ., September 4, 2013
This review is from: Watermelon for Everyone (Paperback)
Mark Twain once said, "When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat." It is true and after reading "Watermelon for Everyone", it is easy to understand why. In this delightful book, Martha Woodward lovingly shares all kinds of useful and entertaining information about all aspects of the watermelon. What a joyful read. Like the watermelon, this book is for everyone.
