One Potato Review

From the look of the pictures he’s not such a klutz at it either, the first of a number of surprises and subtle developments – in character and plot – that make for a careful, and finally uplifting little story, whether you are the type who likes dolls, basketballs, or stamps. Grandma’s is the voice of reason.
