# Fruit Bowl - Hardcover

by **Mark Hoffmann** (Author)

**Who belongs in the fruit bowl? Apples, check. Blueberries, check. Tomato, che-- Wait, what?! Tomato wants to join the other fruits, but does he belong? The perfect mix of botany and a bunch of bananas!**

All the fruit are in the bowl. There's Apple and Orange. Strawberry and Peach. Plum and Pear. And, of course, Tomato.

Now wait just a minute! Tomatoes aren't fruit! Or are they?

Using sly science (and some wisdom from a wise old raisin), Tomato proves all the fruit wrong and shows that he belongs in the bowl just as much as the next blueberry! And he's bringing some unexpected friends too!

**"A fun, brain-teasing food literacy lesson that's a cornucopia of produce and wordplay."--_Publishers Weekly_, starred review**  
  
**"An a-peel-ing addition."--_School Library Journal_**
