Customer Reviews

Cute book! GREAT photos!

I read this to my fifth graders every year... seriously! They love the photos and, unbeknownst to them, they learn something about the USA. Who knew Mr. Potato Head had such a big family?

I didn't know that Mr. Potato Head could be so cool

Mr. Potato Head across America is a wonderfully visual book dealing with the sights "across America." I loved it.The basic premises of the book is Mr. Potato Head is going to his family reunion in Burlap, Idaho. He is from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, so he has to travel across the country. While traveling, he decides to catch the sights. What I really liked about the book was how crisp and clear the photographs were. There are some really great shots of Mount Rushmore, The White House and Old Faithful at the Yellowstone National Park. Having Mr. Potato Head in each one of the pictures adds to the enjoyment of the book. I enjoyed seeing the pullout of Mr. Potato Head's family reunion in Burlap, Idaho. I didn't realize that he had such a big family.I didn't expect this book to keep me amused from beginning to end. This book was a great adventure for Mr. Potato Head.One thing that was definitely educational about this book was the fact that there is a map of the United States at the back of it. They mix up four of the states so that the reader has to find them.Since I'm always looking for children's books for my nephews, I think that they will really enjoy this book. I didn't think that I would like it as much as I did, but Mr. Potato Head is just cool.
