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. 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.
