The illustrations in the book are beautiful and vivid. The story is sweet and has kept my children's attentions for more than a year now.
My Best Sweet Potato
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My 3 year old son loves this book. We checked it out at the library, and we've read it each night for a week, so I'll be purchasing it today. The drawings are beautiful, unique and detailed. (Look for ants transporting a cheerio! It's not related to the plot, just a wonderful detail for children to notice as you read.) Even the font looks to be hand-drawn. The illustrations are a bit quirky, as is the character and "voice" of Mac the Weaverbird - this is a good thing! So many kids books are cookie cutter, cliched, or just plain boring. The story and pictures are so sweet and fantasic. I highly recommend it.
I love Rainy Dohaney.

I love Rainy Dohaney. Her books are amazingly artful, with simple but poignant. I also recommend The Soap Lady, which is yet another odd tale of friendship.
Beautiful and Refreshing

I love this book. I'm a grandmother of 4 under the age of 8 and they all love this book. My own daughter lost a stuffed animal when she was a toddler and now her own children can identify with this book, too. Even better than the story is the outstanding and beautiful art work. The artist has a wonderful and soft technique which is just right for little children.
My Best Sweet Potato - Beautiful and Excellent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
"My Best Sweet Potato" is a magnificently illustrated book with soft colors and amazing drawings. Small children love it. Not to be outdone by the drawings, the story is also very touching. What child doesn't have a favorite stuffed toy who you as a parent are terrified will be lost? Follow this simple but beautiful and understandable story and you'll be sad and happy. I highly recommed this book for toddlers and beyond. It's now my 27 month old grandson's favorite.
