snowelf 's review for:

First Tomato by Rosemary Wells

2.0

---

I really wasn't sure what to make of this book or how to explain it to my son. I think he was feeling pretty ambivalent about it too. At some level it's sort of cute and so are the illustrations, but at the same time it's a sad story, even bordering on "disturbing".

I'm still looking to see whether on repeated readings it will win us over ...
