A special friendship begins in Farmer Green's garden when a young asparagus stalk strikes up a conversation with his neighbor, a cabbage, and the two vegetables discover that they have much in common.

From Kirkus Reviews:
Seabrook's first book involves a pair of anthropormorphized garden vegetables--Albert the asparagus and Herman the cabbage- -who overcome their obvious differences and forge an alliance against the dangers of their surroundings. At any time, they could be nibbled by the rabbit, picked by the farmer's wife and daughter or run over by the household dog. The fate of each food item is tenuous--in a less than dramatic telling, one goes to flower, the other to the fair. The story ambles along in conversations between the two veggie friends, lacking any sense of anticipation, and astute readers might be alarmed by the anticlimactic, blue-ribbon-prize-winning ending for Herman: It surely puts an end of his friendship with Albert, and it probably means he'll be eaten. Wyeth, facing the difficult challenge of enlivening sedentary vegetables, successfully employs wind, a dog, and subtle facial characterisitics to vivify his pastoral paintings.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2. The vegetables in Farmer Jones's garden compare their various merits as they anxiously wait to see who among them will be chosen to be shown at the county fair. In the process, a friendship blossoms between Albert, a tall asparagus plant, and Herman, a plump cabbage who is ultimately taken to the fair. At the end of the season, Albert is one of the few remaining asparagus stalks. Since he has grown too tall and seedy, he will have to winter over, but sprouts a golden crown of ferns in consolation. As his family settles down for their long winter nap, Albert dreams happily of cabbages like Herman wearing blue ribbons. Wyeth's richly colored garden scenes offer a variety of interesting perspectives, but the writing has an amateur quality and the anthropomorphism of the vegetables is cliched.?Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
