Peter the Potato

Peter the Potato

How terribly grumpy is Peter! His glass is always half full, until a mistaken party invitation brings him face-to-face with Pablo the Potato, whose equally grumpy demeanor shines a light on Peter’s own negativity. Was it fate that they met? Or was it a masterfully crafted plan hatched by an optimistic friend?


About The Food ABC

Did you know that kids think that food tastes better when there is a cartoon character associated with it? That’s what makes The Food ABC books so clever; they subtly send a message to “eat the rainbow” – think carrots, potatoes, beans, even mushrooms – without focussing on food at all.

The books teach positive life lessons that are relatable to modern-day kids, from tidying your room and staying off digital devices to self-esteem and the importance of a good night’s sleep. Each story is fronted by a character who is a healthy whole food, which implicitly teaches kids that carrots, potatoes and mushrooms are likable and fun.
To the author’s credit, she masterfully weaves these lessons into storylines in a way that young children can relate to and understand. Rest assured a “healthy appetite” will naturally come after reading these fun and engaging books that impart amazing life lessons.

For children 4 – 7 years old.
