"A boy sets out for vegetables and gets an earful from a garden of anthropomorphic edible plants in funny, informational picture book . . . Tsurumi's pencil-drawn, digitally colored characters add buoyant humor to Lukoff's sly, kid-friendly demonstration of social constructs and plant biology factoids. The emotive garden flora is as rich in opinions as in nutrients. Young readers will likely giggle at their sass, which makes the educational components more palatable, just as the perfect dressing elevates a salad." –Shelf Awareness
