Every couple of months, Aya’s mom sends us a care package that always has a few Japanese books for Ellie. I’m always excited to open the package even though I can’t read anything. I like to look through the books first and try to figure out what they are about. Occasionally, I get it right, but sometimes one comes along that leaves me extremely puzzled. Like when I saw the cover of this book, I wondered, “Is that what I think it is? Nooo, it couldn’t be.” But as I looked further into the book, I just got more confused. Take a look!
Sooooo… A potato eats dinner, goes to the bathroom, works out, and gets his potato friends together. Then they lose a tug of war match with a group of people who then eat the them. The potatoes then get revenge by giving the people explosive gas?
Whatever it is, it looks like a fun book, don’t you think?
I believe this book needs to be turned into a short film…immediately.
That’s an excellent idea!
Pretty funny that the ad next to the picture of the potato sitting on the toilet is for gas and colic treatment ! lol
Ding, ding, ding! You arrrre correct. It’s a book about sweet potatoes, which are known for giving gas. But they’re “just like us!” They eat, they poop, they work out, but the “humans” want to play tug of war with us and pull us all out of the ground! Well you know what? The potatoes will have the last word(or smell) for giving them all terrrrrible gas!!! Har har har.
What else could it be about? 😉
