Illustrated by
Debbie Ridpath Ohi.
A bored little girl encounters a potato who thinks she's boring, so she retaliates by telling him about all the cool things kids can do. While the message is overt, the story is humorous, as is the cyclical ending. Best of all are the minimalist digital illustrations depicting all the "amazing" activities the girl demonstrates.
