Description
George Crum's Potato Predicament by Anne Renaud is a charming tale about a cook who invented a tasty treat in response to a demanding customer. When Filbert, a picky eater, sends his potato wedges back for being too thick, George decides to make them thinner. However, Filbert still isn't satisfied until George uses his sharpest knife to cut paper-thin slices, which he fries until they're crackling and salty. This delightful story is based on a real man named George Crum, who lived in the 1850s and is credited with inventing potato chips. The book features beautiful illustrations that bring the historical period to life with a lighthearted touch. Anne Renaud's playful language and quirky characters make for a lively and fun read-aloud. The story of George Crum's invention is not only entertaining but also educational, making it an excellent choice for lessons on inventions and inventors, history, or why we eat the foods we do.
