The vaunted tuberous root vegetable gets its due in this illustrated salute. Using the classic children's rhyme "One potato, two potato" as his springboard, layered with an improvisational rhythm, Baker incorporates other words that rhyme with potato ("tic-tac-toe," "big black crow"). The wonderfully cheeky spreads feature ten smiling potatoes bopping in the dirt, with cameos by fellow garden-grown friends.
