In this charming story about celebrating differences a Chinese-American girl wishes for a garden of bright flowers instead of one full of bumpy, ugly, vegetables. The neighbors' gardens look so much prettier and so much more inviting to the young gardener than the garden of "black-purple-green vines, fuzzy wrinkled leaves, prickly stems, and a few little yellow flowers" that she and her mother grow. Nevertheless, mother assures her that "these are better than flowers." Come harvest time, everyone agrees as those ugly Chinese vegetables become the tastiest, most aromatic soup they have ever known. As the neighborhood comes together to share flowers and ugly vegetable soup, the young gardener learns that regardless of appearances, everything has its own beauty and purpose. THE UGLY VEGETABLES springs forth with the bright and cheerful colors of blooming flowers and lumpy vegetables. Grace Lin's playful illustrations pour forth with abundant treasures. Complete with a guide to the Chinese pronunciation of the vegetables and the recipe for ugly vegetable soup Try it . . . you'll love it, tooBinding Type: Hardcover

My Dog’s New Favorite Toy!
My pup is absolutely obsessed with this bottle-shaped dog toy—it’s the perfect mix of fun and durability! It crinkles, without the lid obnoxious noise. Highly recommend for any dog!

A perfect addition to my dog’s toy collection
Cute dog toy that is a fun toy to add to my dog’s collection especially since we live near wine country. Jameson also loves that there’s a squeaker, and started playing with it right away.

Quite small.
These were way smaller than I imagined based on the photos. Those were obviously ai generated photos that don’t even look like the product at times. They are pretty flimsy and I wouldn’t buy again. My dog will tear this apart in 2 min. But it’s a good size to throw around I guess or maybe for a much smaller dog that doesn’t also want to chew.
3 stars because we will get some play out of them and there’s 2. Just know what you are getting

Very cute! My dog loves it!
You cannot beat the price of this donut dog toy and it includes two of them! I opened these up and my dog wanted to play with it right away. They are smallish, probably about the size of a regular donut. It might look a little small compared to my dog but he is 125lbs. These little donuts even have squeakers in them.
Is your dog going to be able to rip these apart… yes. I never expected him to not be able to rip these up. My dog first likes to give it nib nibs and then he will eventually rip it up. You will not find a better dog toy for the price that these are selling for on Amazon.
Plus it is adorable seeing your dog walking around with a donut in his mouth!
