Pamela Allen: The Potato People

By MARGIE THOMSON

Another one from the unstoppable Allen. Jack spends every Friday with his grandmother and they have a lovely time. One day they make some potato people.

When Jack has to go away for a long while, his grandmother eventually disposes of them, with surprising results.

Allen's stories and illustrations cover such a range of human emotions and situations - always with a light, humorous touch - that they just go on being favourites, reading after reading.
