What's Runaway Tomato About

Publisher Summary

For fans of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes an action packed picture book with a sweet surprise. Call in the trucks! When a giant tomato breaks loose at the top of a hill, it takes every tractor, fire engine, and helicopter to stop it. Lincoln Agnew’s cool, vintage cartoon style is a perfect match for the high-octane action told in catchy rhyme, culminating in a jam-packed gate-fold spread of the town’s Tomato Festival. What will happen when it rains on all those giant seeds? One giant surprise.

The Creatives Behind the Book

    Illustrator
    Lincoln Agnew

    Lincoln Agnew once tried to build his own robot out of a plastic bucket, a broken microwave, and “technology,” but sadly its abilities were limited to catching fire. Years later, after giving up on world domination, he attended the Alberta College of Art and Design, where he obtained degrees in both illustration and photography. Lincoln made his debut as a picture book illustrator with Harry and Horsie, for which he won the 2009 Society of Illustrators “The Original Art” Founder’s Award as well as the Marion Vannett Ridgway Award. He is currently rebuilding that robot.
