Walter the Wombat Waters a Watermelon — Kelly Johnson

Walter the wombat has a big dream-to grow the biggest, juiciest watermelon the meadow has ever seen. With determination in his heart and a straw hat on his head, he sets off on a garden adventure. Guided by the wisdom of Mr. Owl and a special map, Walter finds the perfect sunny spot near a creek where the soil is rich and full of life. He carefully plants the seeds and tends to them daily, learning the values of patience, planning, and care. Along the way, he makes new friends and discovers the joy of working with nature.But the journey isn't without challenges. Mischievous rabbits nibble his leaves, and a sudden storm threatens to wash away all his hard work. Using clever tricks and gentle persistence, Walter protects his garden and nurtures his growing watermelon. Eventually, his hard work pays off-the enormous watermelon is ready for harvest. Walter joyfully shares the sweet reward with the entire meadow, turning his dream into a celebration of community, kindness, and the magic of growing something with love.
