One Potato Review

Here are the treasures in the eyes of this beholder: keys, and bits of driftwood, and undelivered letters, and anything else he can manage to stash in a room full of cubbies, whose centerpiece remains an unassuming, and unexplained, pebble of no apparent splendor. The tension here, and the surprises, arrive when visitors begin remarking on its relative plainness – “an eyesore,” says one - and this pack rat needs to decide for whom he’s been collecting, and why. The artwork here is exquisitely detailed and original, and it would be a pity if older readers were put off by the appearances of softer colors, and talking animals. Because here is finally a story with a great deal to say about the wonders of original thinking, and sometimes also the regrets.
