One Potato Review

Crabby in the jungle. Everyone seems to be all of a sudden wandering into some disaster here – a turtle on his back, a giraffe tangled in a vine, a rhino with his tusk stuck alliteratively in a stump – and no one seems very inclined to help until a jaunty elephant happens by and inevitably finds a trap of his own. There’s nothing very unpredictable about all of this, but an ant who is rescued from a river near the beginning supplies the guiding and addictively quotable sentiment when he observes that what is nothing for you is often a very big thing for somebody else. Simple but indispensable.
