The Potato King

(3) K-3 After King Fritz learns about "a new wonder plant from South America," he gives his subjects a field of spuds; they're suspicious of his generosity. How can he awaken their interest in this foodstuff? Based on what's believed to be a true story about a resourceful eighteenth-century Prussian king, this unique-and-then-some book is predominantly illustrated with--what else?--potato-print art.
