Parenting: 2nd children's book from NJ author

The book makes use of the sort of rhyme schemes young kids usually enjoy. The story centers around a potato with a secret who needs some advice.

Before his pal the cornstalk can lend an ear (sorry, I had to!), that know-it-all cucumber decides that he has the answer to the spud's difficulties, but then spills the beans (okay, this time, I really do apologize!). Before long, all sorts of vegetables are onto the story.

Will the garden ever be the same? Can vegetables who learn a potato's secret still look him straight in the eye (yep, now I'm really out of control!)? And what about the pesky cucumber - does he get his comeuppance?

Here's the Uhhappy Spud link if you'd like to explore. The book is pretty new and I haven't been able to find any reviews online.

Galson's first book, "The Window to Aunt Evie's World: Funny Poetry for Children," is available on Amazon. Galson is a past winner of the Golden Poet Award from World of Poetry and two Silver Poet Awards.
