It streaked through the sky on a perfect day in July and landed in the garden...

When a mysterious red orb appears one day, the vegetables aren't sure what to make of it. They decide that it must be an alien tomato! They name her Allie and try to make her feel as welcome as possible. But Gopher isn't convinced. He's sure it's just a ball.

This delightfully silly tale and its equally hilarious art are a perfect fit for gardeners and sci-fi fans alike.
