History is full of weird but true stories! Lindsay Metcalf & Edwin Fotheringham do a fantastic job sharing this one with young readers. I particularly like Fotheringham's visualization of the court debate. Unique. Age appropriate. Fun to read!

Nonfiction picture books are hard enough to write in prose, but @lindsayhmetcalf.bsky.social manages to delight and inform in RHYME! Pick up OUTDOOR FARM, INDOOR FARM as an alternative to the standard children's book about farm life and discover a whole new world, beautifully illustrated by Xin Li.

Such a fun, informative read by @lindsayhmetcalf.bsky.social, illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham. Filled with delicious tomato puns and a hilarious Supreme Court Food Fight between Team Fruit and Team Vegetable. Many classroom applications here!

TOMATOES ON TRIAL by @lindsayhmetcalf.bsky.social & #EdwinFotheringham is about the Supreme Court case that decided whether a tomato was a fruit or vegetable. And it is FUN! Cheeky text and humorous illustrations make this book a treat to read.
