The Potato King

by Christoph Niemann Illustrator

Frederick, a Prussian King, planted the potato, a lowly crop from South America, to his people. However, his subjects disliked being told what to eat. To make the potato popular, Fritz used reverse psychology, piqued their curiosity, and made it popular. The potato has since flourished. This features simple and effective illustrations. It also includes a brief historical background note. Readers can learn about how the potato rose to popularity and may be inspired by the king's creative problem-solving.
