“Tomatoes From Mars” by Arthur Yorinks


 This book is rather interesting. The main focus of the story is that tomatoes are invading the planet and going to take over Minnesota, then eventually taking over the world to make it all red!

I think this would be an interesting text to use when talking about outer space or planets in science class. It would be humorous for older grades and allow their imaginations to run wild throughout the book while trying to solve the mystery!

The illustrations are very inquisitive. Why? Because they show various parts of the world, they are incredibly colorful and the expressions on the character’s faces allow one to imagine just how they feel when the tomatoes are crashing into earth! Definitely a fun book, just very different.
