Book Reviews of One Potato, Two PotatoBook Review: One Potato Two Potato Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady lived a very simple life. They were so poor, they had to share everything: one holy blanket, one chair, and a single potato which would serve as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Despite their lack of material wealth, they were happy and content. The only element missing from each of their lives was a friend. A magic pot provided them with the necessities of life and friends as well.
The O'Gradys were kind, loving, people who could have become rich, but chose instead, to share their good fortune by reburying the pot for someone else in need to find.
I enjoyed this refreshing twist, a good story to discuss what is really important in life: friends, family and thinking of others.
Book Review: One Potato, Two Potato Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sweet story of love and caring with a surprising magical element. The illustrations by Andrea U'Ren support and carry the story beautifully. A delightful book!
Book Review: Only one potato... Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady were so skinny that they could sit side by side on their only chair to share their one potato for dinner. They were so poor that they only had one raggedy coat, which they took turns wearing in the winter.
Then came the day when Mr. O'Grady dug the last potato from his garden, and underneath that potato....why, it was a pot! He toted it home, and the O'Gradys soon discovered that it was not an ordinary pot.
Delightful pen and gouache illustrations add to this cheerful folktale. Ages. 3-8.
