Amazon Description
Try to do as little as possible.” This was Dodsworth’s motto. One morning, on his daily trip to the junkyard, he discovers a pink refrigerator.
There’s not much to say about a pink refrigerator, except this one had a note on it. The note said, Paint pictures.” And so Dodsworth did.
The next day, a new note appeared on the pink refrigerator. And the day after that, and the day after that.
Dodsworth liked doing as little as possible. But the pink refrigerator had big plans for him . . .

One Potato Review
If you’re going to follow Dodsworth to Paris, New York, and his most recent destination, London, then you probably owe it yourself to find out where all of that wanderlust came from. And even if you’re not the type who’s particularly interested in seeing the sights, this book has a lot to say about the seemingly arbitrary sources of inspiration, artistic and otherwise. Thoughtful and picaresque: the former couch potato ends up pedaling his wagon into the sunset - and who knows where he’ll end up next?
