One Potato Review

Bodaciously better and brighter than just about any other book out there about the fantastic lies we use as excuses for being late. This story follows a familiar trajectory - but rattlesnakes? Cowboy boots? Whopperiferous? There’s magic in the language - even poetry - and Adinolfi’s vivid and gravity-mocking illustrations make this one of the great (neglected) classics of its time. After many, many readings it still holds up. Odd, bursting with energy, and pure-d surprising.
