The man wears a funny hat and a red scarf. His nose is thick and red, which is why the people in town call him "Tomato." And because he looks different, a rumor soon spreads that the man is dangerous, even a robber. Tomato must flee and hide. What should he do? When he finally stops hiding, help comes from an unexpected source. A touching story that gets under your skin. Loving illustrations by Jutta Timm give the book a special touch. The syllable assistance reading method makes it easier to read the text: By highlighting individual syllables in color, beginner readers can correctly read longer words at first glance.
