Amazon Description
In this thought-provoking tale reminiscent of Seuss, Farmer McPhee finds a red lemon in his orchard and cries, "It's red as a stop sign! It's red as a rose! I can't have red lemons where yellow fruit grows! Imagine a world where lemonade's red? Where once-yellow cupcakes are crimson instead?" As he tosses the red lemon across the water, he can't imagine that it will land on a small island, sprout a seed, and someday bring forth an orchard of lemon trees...where people will travel to from all over, to try the red lemons that are "six times as sweet!"One Potato Review
Any book by Bob Staake is worth studying for his striking use of colors and infant-friendly circles, but here is also a stirring little fable about the magic of thinking differently. This might be a classic. But then it would be too easy to find.
