One Potato Review

Among the several lamentable evolutions of picture books, people don’t get eaten so much anymore. Of course there is always the threat of it, though more and more authors appear to be relying on the ghost of Shel Silverstein to string us along. The law of the jungle. The crack of the whip. A metaphor is only a cliché if you don’t have to worry about teeth. With marshmallows, haircuts and not a little melancholy by the end.
