Welcome to the wacky world of Kid Potato in this zany new series! Readers of all ages will be giggling along as they join Kid Potato and his friends on FIVE spudtastically funny adventures.

Kid Potato (aka Spuddy) is just a regular kid . . . except he's a potato. Okay, sometimes weird stuff DOES happen. Like the alien invasion. Or when he was almost swallowed by a robot toilet. Or that time his finger turned radioactive.

Join Spudbert and his eccentric school friends Chomp and Raven as they embark on ridiculous adventures. From helping an alien who crash-lands inside Chomp's head to doing a science project with Kid Evil (rumor has it that he doesn't even wear socks!), the absurd fun never stops!
Author-illustrator Neil Coslett has a degree in graphic arts and has worked in directing, animation, illustration, and broadcast television. His award-winning animation, “Killing Time at Home,” was distributed in the UK as a school teaching resource by the British Film Institute. He’s now focused on creating fun cartoon books for children. View titles by Neil Coslett
