There's no such thing as vegetables

Chester plans to have a salad for lunch, but in order to do that, he'll need vegetables.

So he goes to the community garden, except he quickly learns that he won't be dressing a salad anytime soon.

Instead, the vegetables start dressing him down. According to them, 'vegetables' don't exist!What the bell pepper?

That's right! What we know as 'vegetables' are really just a variety of different parts of a plant.

Kale is a leaf, broccoli is a flower, potatoes are roots.

Thanks to a lively, sassy cast of talking 'veggies,' Chester is schooled on social constructs and taxonomy. But with a slyly informative text and illustrations that will crack readers up, the lessons in There's No Such Thing As Vegetables go down easy . . . actually, it's not a reach to say it's a total TREAT.
