DESCRIPTION:

Once upon a time there was a Prussian King, Frederick, also known as Fritz, who saw potential in the lowly potato a newly introduced crop from South America and decided to plant it for his people. However, it quickly became clear that his subjects didn t like being told what to eat. Determined to see the potato thrive, Fritz cleverly used reverse psychology to pique his people s curiosity and make the crop popular, and the potato has flourished ever since. Potato-stamp illustrations throughout are simple and effective, exhibiting Neimann s trademark wit and playfulness. The book includes a short informational note on the historical background to the story. Readers will be interested to discover how one of today s most common foods likely rose to popularity and may also be inspired by the king s creative problem solving."
