This book is about a girl named Holly Evans who plans and executes her science experience of sending seeds into the sky in hopes of seeing what the extraterrestrial power will do to the vegetables. As giant vegetables start to rain in certain areas from the sky, she thinks they’re from her experiment. After she watches the news and realizes that some of these vegetables are not the same kind as she used for her experiment, she comes to the conclusion that the giant vegetables are not from her. She wonders where they’re from without knowing they are from a cook working on another planet and misplacing his differ vegetables. This book is extremely creative and David Wiesner illustrates the giant vegetables beautifully. The reader sees the many different vegetables flying from the sky and it looks extremely realistic. I would definitely incorporate this into my classroom as a read aloud but mostly as a fun read for the students to just listen to and enjoy.
