My children used to love for me to read to them. Books that are easy to understand and remember is loved by smaller children. This book sounds funny and the pictures on the pages sound appealing as a picture book. A book on potatoes sounds far fetched but a hilarious read. Great review!

Such a cute children’s book.
It is about potatoes & how they claim that the banana
Is the fourth potato. The book introduces a few other vegetables & the banana is a main character within the book. Very fun book for kids & great use of different colors.

This hilariously pictured book is an exciting read for children. We are introduced to a society of potatoes and a banana that live closely together. The potatoes at night put up a show and amyone who has opened the book will testify as to the humourous nature these potatoes portray. You cant help but get your inner child excited too.

The potatoes during the day like most potatoes we know , take a nap . At night apparently its a blast. Arnie one of the potatoes dances . On the pictures moves from him are portrayed. While Jimmy takes pride in his pants. You can tell Jimmy is that family member that makes it late to every gathering for such reasons. Marvin juggles tomatoes. You can relax on that one, the tomatoes are not alive.

Benny on the other hand is a banana. Who keeps emphasising precisely just that. The relationship in this bowl is as healthy as any other family relationship. Different characters living under one roof and there's always the black sheep. My fellow banana.

This was exciting to watch. The authors use of actual pictures and cartoons at the same time is really smart. It brings life and character to the inanimate objects. A 5 out of 5 star rating from me on this one. The age relevance , picture quality and content is relevant for children.
