My sister and I had a book when we were children. The artwork was quite grown up and quite creepy for a children's book. The characters were made up of realistic vegetables, and the color scheme was quite muted.

I remember one picture where a character was underground and was able to listen above ground through an earhorn device. I think a Father Time was also in it. It's been driving us mad trying to find the actual book.

  • Many thanks for responding. It would have been the mid to late 1980s, early 1990s at a push.

  • Hi and welcome to Literature Stack Exchange! Please look through the suggestions in the tag wiki for identification requests and edit your question to include additional information. For example, can you describe the artwork more specifically? What do "grown-up" and "creepy" mean here? Also, was the book intended for babies, children around 10 years old, or ... ? Such details will help narrow down possibilities. Thanks!

  • Could you clarify 'made up of vegetables'? Do you mean that each character was made up of a variety of individual vegetables, or that each character was a single vegetable?
