Supertato: Veggies in the Valley of Doom
Illustrator: Paul LinnetJumping on the super hero bandwagon comes this new zany veggie book in the series, this one set in a supermarket at night time. Bored, the vegetables decide to play hide and seek. “I’m great at hide and seek!” shouts Broccoli. Supertato starts counting… “499, 500! Ready or not, here I come!” With his red cape flowing and his black mask in place, Supertato quickly finds his friends, but Carrot finds a treasure map, so of course, off they set to follow the trail. [No-one notices The Evil Pea.] Through all sorts of hazards, Supertato comes out on top. But, disaster, finally, spotting the treasure chest, they all sink fast into quicksand. Who would hear their cries for help? Against his better nature, it is Evil Pea to the rescue. Then, SURPRISE! What (or who?) is in the chest? Whacky drawings throughout characterise the veggies in bright, bold colours; these should appeal to a youngster, especially a superhero fan, or one who likes broccoli!
