review:
'Mr. Crum's Potato Predicament' by Ann Renaud with illustrations by Felicita Sala takes a story that may be more legend than fact and makes it a fun story for young readers.
When Filbert P. Horsefeathers walks into George Crum's restaurant, he only wants potatoes. When the potatoes he gets aren't right, he keeps sending them back until chef Crum invents a new thin, crunchy, salty snack: the potato chip!
In a great postscript to the story, we find out that there was a George Crum who is credited with inventing the potato chip. Whether he did or not, he was apparently a great chef in the Saratoga area where they were known as Saratoga chips. There are some photos of the real George Crum and an early box of potato chips. There is also a list of sources for the story that is told. I found it a fun story and I loved the illustrations.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Kids Can Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
