Reviews

An American child travels to Bunol, Spain, to take part in the town's annual raucous celebration of the tomato. La Tomatina is a large organized food fight in which residents wear goggles and spend the day throwing crushed ripe tomatoes until the streets are covered in one ruby red, pulpy mess. In an easy flowing rhyme, the narrator describes their enthusiastic participation. . . . Cartoon illustrations depict the rowdy, frenzied event as everyone and everything is splattered and splashed in the fruit's squishy juices. . . . A high-spirited celebration of a unique experience. -Kirkus Reviews
