Daddy doesn't tell tales and mommy says come to the kitchen baby.
This is the heart voice of probably each child, but this is not the case with Sofia. 
As she has a lovely father like Len Foley, who tells her poems like Four Funny Potatoes. Len Foley not only tells the stories and poems but also sketches them on his iPad. He has done a fabulous work of art in this children book.Nowadays life has become too busy and most of the fathers have made themselves busy in efforts to avail their children McDonald's French fries and burgers. So for those busy fathers, I would recommend that if you don't have enough time to tell stories then you at least can purchase or borrow some storybooks for these little angels.
I saw this book and the title impressed me so much that I picked it up. And I am afraid that if your little cuties find this book on the store, they will also not let you go without buying it. The book is specifically designed for the children at preoperational stage (aging 2 -7), but all elders also start performing kiddy when it comes up to a potato story. I too picked it for my love of potatoes. In fact, it made me remind the days of my childhood when I was liar enough to say "I have a pain in my throat and I am boiling water to take steam". But there was always a potato inside the pan which I later had to eat after seasoning. I am sure there would be hardly anyone who don't like potatoes for some reason. At least for French fries, everyone is crazy. 
So the title is very appealing and would catch your kids definitely. So, buddy, you can surprise them in advance before they irk you in the store. This would amaze them that you know their choice.I find this book simply marvelous. Author has a deep sense to understand children's psyche. This book will help children in learning the counting, names of vegetables, fruits and recognizing the colors. I don't know that mommy's complain of nobody help her will reduce or little cuties will mess more instead, but they'll take interest in kitchen accessories for sure.
The author made a perfect combination of rhyming words and the way he illustrated the poem with pictures makes the book more funny and catchy. I giggled where a bean ridicules the banana saying that you resemble a yellow zucchini. A masterpiece of art, that contains 28 small pages only.
That makes it easy to complete for small children. That's why I thought to share it with you people. Only a little author has not considered the capitalization rules and jumbled the alphabets in some places. This was probably to create more fun in the captivating colorful text, for instance: BRotheRs, haRmony, BowL etc. This is why I am rating this book 3 out of 4 stars.
