Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Once upon a time there was a Prussian King, Frederick, also known as Fritz, who saw potential in the lowly potato â a newly introduced crop from South America â and decided to plant it for his people. However, it quickly became clear that his subjects didnât like being told what to eat. Determined to see the potato thrive, Fritz cleverly used reverse psychology to pique his peopleâs curiosity and make the crop popular, and the potato has flourished ever since. Potato-stamp illustrations throughout are simple and effective, exhibiting Neimannâs 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 todayâs most common foods likely rose to popularity and may also be inspired by the kingâs creative problem solving.
