NB: I actually had this book as a child.

NB: I am aware that the tomato may or not be a "berry", but wanted to leave room for someone to start a thread about books told from the perspective of minerals.

Is Veggietales the Christian animated TV show? I rejected that once (high quality, too much God nonsense) in my old job. Then we went and bought the company who made it so we ended up with it anyway.

aargh! i once had to write an essay on the topic "my life as a vegetable" - i think it cost me a place in the exceleration program at my highschool.
i wrote a story about a family of apples once, but i guess that doesn't count.

Wasn't the Munch Bunch spawn of an evil child too?

Don't know smee but I tell you, when I was 9 (and an aspiring writer of course) I was convinced that J*yne F*sher was my fucking NEMESIS. Really.

I once (long, long ago) wrote a story about 2 trees that fell in love. Ok, so they weren't vegetables...

― Curtis Stephens, Thursday, 6 February 2003 22:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, you had me fooled.

today, somehow apples were vegetables. as for tomorrow, i'll never know.

there seem to be an inordinate number of these vegebooks, i just remembered another one, 'groundsel' by fergus hall - it's more of a magical gardening creature than a vegetable but his face is composed of various fruit & vegies: snow peas for eyebrows, leeks for a beard, apple cheeks and a pear nose
