Illustrated by
Alison Bartlett.
Oliver insists that his grandpa grows the most wonderful fruit, but when his realistically frustrated mother buys the same fruit in the grocery store, he claims he doesn't like it. Oliver changes his mind when he helps make a beautiful fruit salad. The illustrations--bold with large expanses of bright color--are more engaging than the story.
