From Flower to Fruit

all of our vegetables have seeds
I only read the excerpt provided, to determine if I would buy the book. Unfortunately, there is an excerpt that is incorrect: "Some of our vegetables do not have seeds, such as celery, sweet potatoes, and carrots." I understand what the author was trying to explain, but of course they have fruit (the botanist definition) and seeds...it is just not via the part we eat. This is a poor way of explaining how the "scientist" definition of fruit differs from our everyday use of the word, and it may give children an incorrect understanding of seeds/fruit/things we eat.
