Illustrated by
Matthew S. Armstrong.
Roy lives in a peaceful village called Sweet Potato. One day, brutish rhinoceroses run rampant, clearing out the town's precious sweet potato patch. Some townspeople want to resort to violence, but Roy instead teaches the rhinos how to plant and care for their own root vegetables. Humorous pictures just this side of garish illustrate this eccentric story.
