I loved this fun title about Tomatoes. It is a good historical anecdote. And a wonderful way to introduce students to debate.
This quirky title could be a perfect class read. Introducing plant parts and what makes something a fruit or a vegetable. Could also lend itself to a spirited debate on the ongoing fruit or vegetable question.

A delightful book about a real Supreme Court case as to whether a tomatoe is a fruit or a vegetable. The book, written for middle readers, discusses taxation, litigation, and ultimate resolution. This is a strange case for some of you readers. As a CPA who taught taxation nationwide, this case does not strike me as odd (except to the extent that all taxation and tariffs are odd, given that definition is absolutely key). This book is a fun read, but left me hungry . . . for pizza. Go figure!
