Flying Stars


The Watermelon Rind Trouble




A laugh-out-loud chain reaction begins with a single careless act...

A happy little pig is out playing when he accidentally drops a watermelon rind on the road. A bear steps on it, triggering a series of hilarious chaos among the rabbit, hen, puppy, and many other animals. The little pig is completely unaware of the trouble he's caused, and he gets a real surprise at the end!

This fast-paced and cleverly structured picture book uses expressive illustrations and a domino-like storyline to explore consequences and responsibility—perfect for interactive and engaging reading.
