"A collection of lively poems celebrate edible delights from the farmers market.... Written mostly in free verse, clever poems show farmers market produce in a new light.... Moriuchi's colorful collages pair perfectly with Latham's poems.... This poetry collection will inspire readers to rush to the farmers market to compare Latham's images with their real-life counterparts. Kid-friendly recipes are also included at the end of the book. Whimsical poems will inspire readers to play with their fruits and vegetables." -Kirkus Reviews
