I am the Library Media Specialist at Parkwood! This blog is to track my reading for both children and young adult literature so my young readers will have a few ideas of books to check out from the library!

Potatoes, Potatoes
Potatoes, Potatoes by Anita Lobel is a charming story of two brothers, bored with everyday life, who leave to join an army to the east and army to the west. They fight each other's armies until all men are tired, wounded, and hungry. They then appreciate the nostalgia of the home, which they originally ran away from. It is a story told time and time again, yet send a message of peace, hope, family, and love. Even a soldier need his mom.
