Fruit or Vegetable? Follow Team Fruit with produce king John Nix as he battles Team Vegetable—the US government—in this clever “dueling”nonfiction picture book for kids ages 7 to 10.

John Nix just wanted to sell tomatoes. What else could a self-proclaimed produce king do? But when import taxes on popular vegetables impacted his profits, he knew he had to remedy the situation. Nix set out to prove that tomatoes, which have seeds and grow on vines, were clearly fruits. That was the claim John argued all the way to the US Supreme Court. With John on Team Fruit, and the US government on Team Vegetable, both sides slung definition after definition in an epic, legal food fight. Where do you stand? Tomato—fruit or vegetable?
