ARCHIE, THE WATERMELON BOY

ARCHIE, THE WATERMELON BOY by EM.EM. Genesis is a delightfully fun and interactive children’s book about a boy with one true, juicy passion: watermelons! Meet Archie. He doesn’t just like watermelons—he absolutely, positively loves them! Watermelon is on his mind from the moment he wakes up until he drifts off to sleep, dreaming of sweet, refreshing slices. This charming and repetitive story follows Archie’s hilarious adventures with his favorite fruit. Young readers will giggle as they discover all the places Archie enjoys his watermelon: At home, with a slice by his side while he does his homework. At sports events, cheering on his team with a juicy wedge. At school, where his lunchbox is never without it. At the beach, building sandcastles with a cool slice in hand. During playtime with his friends, sharing his beloved treat. He even writes about watermelons for his school projects! His love is so deep that for his birthday, he doesn’t want a cake shaped like a ball or a car—he wants a WATERMELON BIRTHDAY CAKE! So, if you see a boy with a big smile and watermelon seeds on his shirt, you’ll know exactly who he is. That’s why everyone calls him… ARCHIE, THE WATERMELON BOY!
