Potato Pants! Wait a minute potatoes don't wear pants or do they? The title tells you this will be such a funny, funny book and yes it is!!
"Potato is excited because today, FOR ONE DAY ONLY, Lance Vance's Fancy Pants Store is selling POTATO PANTS"
Potato rushes down to the store. There are huge crowds of potatoes outside. Potato rushes inside and then stops. There is an eggplant in the store. This is not Eggplant Pants Day! To make things even worse this is THE eggplant who pushed potato into a trash can yesterday. Eggplant won't leave the store so Potato decides to see if someone else is selling potato pants today or perhaps they might be selling spud slacks, tater trousers or even yam chaps. All of this means Potato has been distracted and so by now there is only one pair of potato pants left on the rack! Oh no they are gone too.
THAT EGGPLANT RUINED EVERYTHING IT'S HIS FAULT I DIDN'T GET POTATO PANTS ... IT'S NOT FAIR
Perhaps Potato needs to talk to Eggplant. And wait a minute has anyone bought the display pants from the store window?
In this video Colby Sharp talks about this book. He mentions Seven Habits of Highly effective People and that this book is perfect for "seek first to understand and then to be understood". Colby says, and I agree, "kids all over the world should read this book" - it is such a laugh. Here is a video of the whole book.
Here are some ideas for class displays and here is the teachers guide from the publisher Macmillan.
