ABOUT US

We are Dr. CJ Good—a creative duo on a mission to make storytime fun and exciting for families everywhere. Our journey into children’s literature began over a decade ago with the arrival of our first child. Despite not being avid readers as kids, we quickly realized the power of books—not just as a tool for learning, but as a way to bond, create lasting memories, and spark joy in everyday moments.

Loved this book! Fun, even for the adult, to read with an identified voice, especially since it was suggested…shouldn’t all children’s book be read using a fun voice anyway?! Also educational and drills down on the ways tomatoes are fruit! The ending also left to chance that maybe there’s a sequel where Tony’s uncle might be rooting for the veggie side!! Hope I’m right and can’t wait to add to my girls’ library!

The illustrations and personality in this book are great! I couldn’t help but read it in a Brooklyn accent lol. It’s a fun book that’s educational and funny. I’d definitely recommend. Moriah This book is great for kids and adults for a variety of reasons. My kids have enjoyed learning about why a tomato is a fruit, especially when we read it in the voice of Uncle Tony who is clearly from NYC. It’s also an easy read for kids who are learning to read. The illustrations are great, and the kids giggle the entire time we read the book - they’re truly engaged. Highly recommend!
