A fun story gets told in ‘I Am a Potato’
Children’s fiction books can be fun to read. No two are alike and take readers on some exciting adventures. When I heard about I Am a Potato I thought it would be a fun read. I was able to get a digital copy of this book and here is my thoughts on it.
You can read the plot for I Am a Potato here:
If Creature is not a potato, what could they possibly be? Taxonomy has never been so much fun!
‘I am a potato’, says a small, furry creature. ‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ says Dog. ‘Do you grow underground? Do you have lots of eyes? No? Then you’re not a potato.’ ‘Then WHAT AM I?’ wails Creature. Cat comes along. ‘Do you breathe air? Do you eat and poo? Do you move around? You are an animal!’ But what kind of animal are they? As their identity crisis continues, more creatures join the conversation, asking questions and narrowing down the options until they eventually work out what the creature is.
This was a pretty good book. A small creature exclaims they are a potato, and right away someone points out this isn’t true. With help, this creature realizes they are an animal, but which one they are not sure. While this story moves along they meet more animals who are glad to help them get through this identity crisis. Once this story comes to a close this creature finds out what they are, and they are happy about it.
I Am a Potato is available now. You can order this book on Amazon, at Barnes and Noble and on Bookshop.
