Professor Sage is holding a contest between the young Bloomers! where each must choose their favorite vegetable to grow and care for, and Big Red knows exactly what he wants to grow: tomatoes! After all, they are the main ingredient in some of his favorite foods: spaghetti, ketchup, and pizza. But as he starts planting, he discovers that he'll have to battle hornworms to keep his tomatoes healthy and safe.
Rodale's Bloomers picture books take young readers and listeners to Bloomers Island to experience the world of plants, flowers, and gardens. Through the lively stories and lush illustrations, a child need only to grab a book from her shelf or from his nightstand to step into the Bloomers world whenever she or he wishes.
