The Adventures of Ralph and Elmer: This Tomato is for You!Is the first in a series of books designed to provide accurate information for elementary school aged children regarding the origin of various fruits, vegetables, and herbs. In this story Elmer makes a journey to Ralph s little flowerpot home inside the Professor s greenhouse, Elmer has come to live with his grandfather because something has happened to Elmer s parents. (We will not know the full story until the next book.) The Professor understands snail language and has told Ralph a great deal about tomatoes. Ralph tries to explain the nutritional value of tomatoes to Elmer. Tomatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Elmer is impressed by his grandfather s wisdom, but is more interested in exploring the wonder of the greenhouse. Elmer, being an adventurous young snail, soon finds himself being carried by a torrent of water toward a large open drain. Will Elmer be saved from certain disaster? Will Elmer learn the origin of the tomato? Will Elmer learn of his family s fate as they traveled along the Oregon Trail in an early American journey? Answers to these questions and many more will be revealed as you explore The Adventures of Ralph and Elmer: This Tomato is for You!
