Publisher's Summary

Feeling fried? Peel yourself on the couch and meet your new pal-tato! The winning fourth picture book from the number one New York Times best-selling creators of The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and The Cool Bean, Jory John and Pete Oswald, will get you and your kids moving!

The Couch Potato has everything within reach and doesn't have to move from the sunken couch cushion. But when the electricity goes out, Couch Potato is forced to peel away from the comforts of the living room and venture outside. Could fresh air and sunshine possibly be better than the views on screen?

Listeners of all ages will laugh along as their new best spuddy learns that balancing screen time and playtime is the root to true happiness.

Check out Jory John and Pete Oswald’s other funny, best-selling books for kids ages four to eight and anyone who wants a laugh:
