Really cute illustrations!!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy in exchange for my honest feedback.

I read Sweet Potato right after Owl Be Seeing You and I couldn't be happier with Chapman's work. It was great to see the continuity of the story and meet a new owl.

The book's message is extremely important and I definitely recommend reading it to little ones.

I'm grateful for receiving the electronic title from Gourmet Dog LLC through NetGalley, and I hope to read more stories of the Grumpy the Iguana and Green Parrot Adventure series!

Loved this book while reading it to my daughter. It’s such a sweet story to read to children. The illustrations are great as we’ll.

This story was a miss for me. It was random and discombobulated. The last message of kids should listen to their parents was good but that was about all I liked about this book.

A delightful little story! We loved the characters, the story and the illustrations. We will be checking out more books from this collection for sure! The publisher made a copy of this book available on Netgalley. This review is my honest opinion.

Sweet Potato's name fits her perfectly. Her feathers are the same color as sweet potatoes and she loves eating sweet potatoes. She struggles with being different because she does not like eating bugs like her two brothers. She's having trouble falling asleep during the day and she wants to spean time with her favorite Iguana, Grumpy

This is a cute story for little ones.

Part of a collection of childrens stories about Mr and Mrs Screech and Grumpy the Iguana. Sweet Potato is a young screech owl who doesn’t want to be an owl. She wants to be like Uncle Grumpy. Sometimes though, you cannot change your genetic program however hard you try!

Sweet Potato is an adorable baby screech owl who lives with her family, her parents and two brothers, in the park. Why is she named Sweet Potato? All the members of her family love to catch and eat bugs but she loves to eat sweet potatoes and mangoes and refuses to be a bug eater. She also dislikes the fact that her family is nocturnal. She enjoys the day time and does not want to waste it by sleeping.

One day she escapes her nest while everyone else is sound asleep and goes to visit her favourite uncle, Uncle Grumpy Iguana. He has a very special place in his heart for this sweet little owlet as he was there the day she hatched and he loves to spend time with her.

Uncle Grumpy listens to her laments and even though he understands her feelings he encourages her to listen and obey her parents. He assures her that they have her best interests at heart and they only want to protect and teach her owl ways, after all, she does belong to the owl family. Will Sweet Potato accept her favourite uncle's advice and put it into practice?

Worried Momma Screech Owl soon swoops in for a landing. She is on a mission to retrieve and bring her baby safely back home. Finally re-united both come to an understanding of accepting each other's differences and for Sweet Potato the importance of listening and obeying her parents.

The illustrations are colourful, expressive and kid-friendly. This is a
sweet teachable story to share with your little ones. Recommended by Storywraps.

"I wanna be an iguana when I grow up"
Its 7 am in the morning and I have to sleep since like Sweet Potato I am an owl too but I can't stop readibg these wholesome children's picture books.
I liked this little story too and for a kid, there was a lesson at the end. I really like books with lessons for little kids, as a kid I loved guessing the moral of the story in my class and get applause whenever I'd get it right.
Will buy this for my nephew.
Plus kids can also learn a thing or two about owls from this so win win.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and The Gourmet Dog LLC for providing me a copy of “Sweet Potato” in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read this story and leave my review voluntarily.

Stop it right now, another FLIPPING CUTE story featuring my fav. Iguana- Grumpy?! YES, PLEASE and THANK YOU!

Sweet Potato is feeling quite different than her nocturnal, bug-loving Screech Owl fam- she prefers mangoes and, you guessed it- sweet potatoes! She doesn't want to sleep during the day and play at night, so while mom, dad and her two brothers are snoozing after breakfast- our little Sweet Potato sneaks off to hang with none other than- UNCLE GRUMPY! Contrary to his name, he ADORES Sweet Potato and welcomes her to spend the day with him at the park.
Grumpy and Sweet Potato are enjoying their time when Momma Screech arrives because she was TERRIFIED not knowing where her baby was. Sweet Potato feels bad that she upset her mom, but that she is different and doesn’t want to do normal Owl-things.
Grumpy tells Sweet Potato that it's ok to be different and not want to play bug games, but she MUST listen when Momma Screech tells her something, it's for her own safety and to learn how to grow up. As I’m accustomed to now, we are given some more Owl facts to add to our think tank!

Another joyful, sweet and teachable story by Susan Chapman- & wonderfully illustrated by Natalia Loseva! Needless to say, I can’t wait to continue following the adventures of Grumpy and the Screech Owl family- I’m invested in this fictional family!

Aww what a cute, sweet & heartwarming little story!

My 5 year old son & I have been reading/listening to the Grumpy Iguana series and this one was just as good as the others we've read!

I loved how the screech owl sweet potato is different from her brothers & her strong conviction of what she wants to become! Her friendship with the Grumpy Iguana is so touching & my son enjoyed knowing about their wonderful day at the park!

The illustrations are so well done & perfectly match with the descriptions.

Thanks you NetGalley & The Gourmet Dog LLC for the ARC!

With thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC copy of this book in exchanged for an honest and unbiased review.

A sweet story that my 7-year old daughter enjoyed reading with me! She enjoyed the illustrations also, which really brought the story to life. I was a little unsure what the moral of the story is meant to be as, on the one hand it seems to be encouraging children to do what their parents say as they know what is best, while on the other hand it highlights how Sweet Potato is different from other members of her family and how she has her own beliefs and wants to do things in her own way, which ultimately leads to her getting into trouble.

Sweet Potato is the lovely story of a unique owl who - unlike her brothers who love to munch on squirmy bugs - loves eating sweet potatoes and mangoes and dreams of living during the day. Not at night as owls are supposed to do. Indeed, she likes to spend the day with Uncle Grumpy, her friend, the iguana.
Mr. Screech Owl had fed his three starving children fries in a trash can in the park. One of the messages of this adorable book is that we should not feed wild animals or leave trash in the streets.
This story is perfect for very small children who will learn about dreams, hope, difference, and acceptance.

This story is adorable and reminds me of my grumpy uncle. Sweet potatoe doesnt want to be a regular owl, she likes spending time with her uncle grumpy. Great kids book!

Sweet Potato is a screech owlet with a mom, dad, and three brothers. Like many brothers anywhere, they like to do "gross" things. Sweet Potato wants to eat vegetables instead of bugs and play during the day instead of at night. She goes to play with her "Uncle Grumpy" the iguana who loves her, too but goes home on his advice when mama screech owl comes for her.
Simple yet colorful, fun illustrations are done by Natalia Loseva.
I requested and received a free e-book copy from The Gourmet Dog LLC, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles via NetGalley.

Thank you NetGalley and The Gourmet Dog LLC for presenting me with an ARC of this book in exchange of a honest review.

SWEET POTATO is a very sweet (hah!) story about an owl of the same name. She doesn't like to eat meat or bugs—contrary to her family and decides to rebel. This is such a cute story about the importance of family and relationships and I enjoyed it.

This story is about an owl named Sweet Potato who wants to be different than her family of owls. She aspires to be like her friend Grumpy, who is an iguana. I really love how the dialogue and the rest of the story are in different colors. As an elementary teacher, this would really help my students to understand quotation marks and dialogue, which is always a struggle!

Thank you NetGalley and Gourmet Dogs LLC for this free ebook in return for an honest review!

This was a really cute and silly book about a little owl who wants to be different. My son loved all of the pictures! It was fun seeing the iguana again and continuing this little book series.

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 to the publishers for a digital copy of this book! This book was published 3/23/22.

This is a sweet story about a little screech owl names Sweet Potato who doesn’t want to be like the other screech owls in her family. Her parents tell her that screech owls eat meat and are only awake at night. However, Sweet Potato wants to eat sweet potatoes and stay awake during the day like her friend Mr. Iguana.

I think my 4-year-old twins would enjoy this book and the colorful illustrations. At the end, Mr. Iguana explains to Sweet Potato that she should listen to her parents because they are always looking out for what’s best for her. Great story for kids who are picky eaters or like to fight bedtime. Thank you NetGalley and The Gourmet Dog LLC, for this digital
ARC in exchange for an honest review.
