Yes, this book is about bad grammar. But really it's a silly, funny, laugh out loud, amazing read aloud.
And if you channel an Eddie Murphy-as-Donkey accent, it really adds to the fun ;)

Silly grammar-driven story. More annoying than funny.

In a one-sentence nutshell:
I laughed really hard at the ending. That uptight potato sure got his comeuppance! Reminded me a lot of [b:Pardon Me!|18689751|Pardon Me!|Daniel Miyares|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403399240s/18689751.jpg|26534964] or [b:This is Not My Hat|13531024|This is Not My Hat|Jon Klassen|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1360096324s/13531024.jpg|19092692]. It's kind of wonderful when an annoying character gets flat-out eaten. Kind of wish that could happen in real life.

This is a very clever book. My preschool age children loved it. There have been many dramatic reenactments of the story. I checked this book out at the public library to read to my children, but as soon as we read it, I knew I needed to buy a copy to use in my high school English class. I will be using this book as a fun way to review some basic grammar concepts.

Hmm. Very funny. But I don't think I'm going to do a story time on grammar.
