A hilarious informational picture book that exposes vegetables for what they truly are—a social construct—by National Book Award finalist and Newbery Honor winner Kyle Lukoff, perfect for fans of Red: A Crayon's Story.Chester plans to have a salad for lunch, but in order to do that, he'll need vegetables.

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.
