From the publisher

It’s one girl against an army of vegetables in this hilariously hyperbolic picture book about our leafy green (and red, orange, purple, and yellow) frenemies. Grownups say they’re harmless, but kids know the truth: vegetables are dangerous! Deep in the dark of the refrigerator, they make their devious plans. Spinach will try to smother you. The radishes are ready to rumble. The kale is clutching cutlery. And of all the evil veggies, broccoli is the worst. If you let it out of the vegetable drawer, it will attack before you can say “I want mac and cheese instead!” Your dad won’t listen, anyway, and hiding under the table won’t work, either. There’s only one thing left to do… Take a bite out of this giggle-worthy picture book with whimsical illustrations, perfect for picky eaters and veggie fans alike. Pairs nicely with The Bad Seed and Creepy Carrots.
