Potatoes, Potatoes
Review by Nonny : Potatoes Potatoes by Anita Lobel 
I first read this book as a college student (studying Elem Education) and never forgot it. The plot is just marvelous and the book emphasizes the importance of family. As a middle-aged mother of two, I am now purchasing this out-of-print book for my family. This picture book is a MUST READ for children AND adults. You cannot go wrong with it!

Review by Spudman : Potato Magic 
This is a wonderful book with an uncomplicated plot.It is the age old story of the futility and suffering of war with a distinct potato flavor. Potatoes Potatoes is worth a look for the illustrations alone, intricate tapestiries capturing the period. Each detailed page is a stand alone work of art.
The message here is not necessarily profound, but it is powerful and moving.
