Description

When a potato-loving lady adopts a dog of her own, she adores him unconditionally-but with the pup's small, round frame and warm, brown coat she can't help but name him "Baked Potato"! But when Baked Potato loses his Lady, who will help him find her? And how will he find himself? I'm a Baked Potato! is a fun, big-hearted story about the names we're given, the names we choose, and how both can help us find our way home.
