Good to hear. I was thinking about getting some of the others for my girls for Christmas this year.
The Zoe & Sassafras books are really good science-y kids books too, for an older age group than the Ada Twists.
Made me think of the greatest (also worst) misfit ambulance crew-themed movie ever:

It seems like a waste of time since I’m just going to peel the skin off my peaches anyway.
I usually have one of the scullery maids peel off the stickers while they are peeling my grapes and cleaning my second oven that I only use on Thanksgiving.
Matt Yglesias is hammering out a Substack right now about how actually the sticker adds dietary fiber to the fruit.
