As seen on Lemon Drop Literary:
It’s been days since the sun has shone on the garden where Broccoli Rob lives. Hoping to draw the sun out, Broccoli Rob sings softly to it. He’s much too quiet for the sun to perceive, so the clouds remain.
Broccoli Rob realizes he can’t carry this task out alone. He enlists the help of his friends to sing along with him. Rosy Tomato and Carlton Carrot consider his idea crazy, but wise, old Poppy Cornstalk thinks they should give it a try.
At first, the song doesn’t work. No one can hear Broccoli Rob. After reassurance from Poppy Cornstalk, Broccoli Rob raises his voice, and the sun responds by beaming on them.
From the clever title to the charming illustrations, everything about this book is adorable. Children and parents will appreciate the positive messages of accepting others’ ideas and pushing through your fears to meet your goal. Broccoli Rob shows children that instead of hiding their talents, they must use them for the benefit of all. Mr. Armstrong definitely did.
David Miles’ illustrations are cozy, comforting, and warm—a bushel of joy. I love the characters’ cute little faces and large round eyes. I know youngsters will delight in them too.

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. I read it to my 6-year-old granddaughter and this is her review:
I loved it! It's not as funny as vegetables wearing underwear but it is still funny. Because, like, vegetables don't sing. The pictures were pretty.
