This is a visually intriguing book. I imagine the author staring into half a watermelon or eating it on a hot summer day and imagining himself soaking into the cool watermelon while conceiving the concept of this book. I love most the concept of selling the dark clouds as a before-and-after-shower point and the white clouds as shade while basking in the sun. It helps the kids to think out of the box of the daily things that we are so acquainted with. An extension activity of exploring various or alternative use of objects and things around us can be done with kids after reading the book to encourage kids to use their imagination.
在视觉上，这是一本非常耐人寻味的书。我想象作者是在一个炎热的夏天里，盯着或吃着半粒西瓜的同时，发挥他的想象，联想着“沉浸”在西瓜里的种种滋味。
我最喜欢书里卖“乌云”为淋浴设施和“白云”为阳伞的构思。我觉得这本书能帮助孩子在思維上”跳出框框”, 鼓励他们多仔细观察日常的事物，发挥想象， 用创新及不同的视角，看待和发掘事物的多种或其他用途。
