Buddy Tator's journey from benchwarmer to team member is sweet and the potato puns will get giggles from little ones, but the story barely stretches beyond its single lesson. There's not much here beyond the message itself, and the self-published production and minimal critical footprint mean you're buying on faith. A fine library pick if you spot it, but not worth seeking out.
