No current Talk conversations about this book. 00001447 This book is about a man who grew an enormous potato and needed help digging it up. The potato is too big for the man to do by himself so he calls all the members of his family to help him. They cook the potato and share it with the community. This book would be a good text for reading because it is repetitive and there are many sound words in the book. The sound words can help the reader understand the emotions that are being portrayed. The Enormous Potato begins with a farmer who plants a very small vegetable seed -- a potato eye. It grows and grows into an enormous potato. Harvest time comes, but the potato is so big that the farmer can't pull it out. So he calls for help, first to his wife, then to their daughter, then to the dog and so on. Energetic illustrations capture the growing determination of the family to free the potato from the soil and the celebratory feast that follows their success. no reviews | add a review
