Product Overview
From Follett

"A mother and child garden their family vegetable patch for food and health through the seasons and come to appreciate home-made produce--with tips for family gardening and green living"--Provided by publisher.

From the Publisher

What do you think a two-legged carrot would taste like? What about a crabby-faced apple? Jay makes some surprising discoveries after he plants and cares for a garden with his mother. Jay learns that naturally grown food can grow to look different than what he is used to buying at the grocery store. He is delighted to discover the hilarious, misshapen fruits and vegetables. To his amazement, they all taste the same, maybe better even What a waste it would be to throw them out.

It seems foolish to throw away an absurd amount of food because it looks a little different -- especially when children love those funny shaped foods
