Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Mr. Russet is the first to spot it. It's right in the middle of the couch. A potato. It doesn't belong there, yet there it is. And he's had enough. 'Every day I pick up this, I pick up that, I pick up everything!' Mr. Russet exclaims. 'I will not pick up that potato!' And he doesn't. In fact, he decides to take a stand and not pick up anything else either! But as the days pass, Mrs. Russet and the two Russet children don't seem to mind the potato in the living room. Or the mess growing all around them. What's a potato protestor to do?
"When Mr. Russet finds a large, lumpy potato on the couch he is outraged and begins a potato protest, refusing to do any more tidying up. Other family members see the spud differently, playing with it, dressing it up, and even giving the potato its own cushion on the couch. As the house gets messier and messier, Mr. Russet can't take it any longer. He picks up the potato, tidies up and then serves his family a most surprising supper..."-- Provided by publisher.
