A Silly Story Awaits
Hi there,
​​
This book is ridiculous.
Truly. A tomato shows up and refuses to explain itself.
But making it? That part meant something.
I wrote and created it with a big, silly smile—and maybe you'll read it with one too.
Thanks for being here.
​
—Charley J Cox ​​​​
A debut you can (almost) eat...
From creator Charley J Cox and independent publisher Uncloned comes There Is A Tomato In My Book—a playful debut children’s story.
​​
Not your average cookbook. ​
Not your average story.​
Something's cooking...
​
A delightfully silly story... with a twist (and a recipe):
​
Something strange is happening in this book.
First, a tomato appears.
Then flour. Then an egg. Then... wait—what are they doing here?
No one explains. They just sit there.
Being... ingredients?
It's all very suspicious.
Until suddenly—everything changes.
​
A playful mystery for curious kids and their grown-ups, this story will have you guessing, giggling, and maybe even cooking.​​​
​​What to Expect
-
A delightfully absurd mystery.
-
A tomato that just won't explain itself.
-
A recipe at the end.
-
And a page-turning journey from confusion to creation.
​
Each page introduces a new ingredient.
Each time, we ask:
"What are you doing in my book?"
But they stay silent.
So we turn the page...
Until, finally, there's a dish, a recipe, and a sprinkle of sense.
​
Perfect for:
-
Curious kids aged 3-7 (and playful adults)
-
Read-aloud time with belly laughs
-
Budding chefs and tiny tomato detectives
-
Families who enjoy a little mystery—and a little mess​​
