Two Old Potatoes and Me by John Coy illustrated by Carolyn Fisher

A girl almost throws out two old potatoes but her dad stops her.  Together they plant the potatoes and watch their progress as they grow into plants and then finally into lots more potatoes!  The book depicts a thorough process of planting, caring for and anticipating a crop of vegetables (even includes a part where they must remove the potato bugs!!).  The girl's parents are divorced.  The story takes place only at the dad's house but they talk a bit about what she is doing with her mom at her house.  The page layouts are all over the place which makes it unique but not good for story time for a large group.  A recipe for mashed potatoes is shared at the end.
