The Couch Potato – Lisa Connors

Is there a Couch Potato in your life? The Couch Potato by Jory John and Pete Oswald (Harper Collins Publishers, 2020) is a hilarious look into the extremes a certain potato goes to NEVER leave his (her?) couch. Even if your special couch potato is not this extreme, they will likely enjoy the antics and what happens when suddenly, with one too many never-need-to-leave-the-couch gadgets the power goes out. Couch potato is forced off the couch and glimpses the outside world through a window. So bright! As Couch Potato goes out and explores the world, he learns how much he was missing, how much he can do and learn, and how to be in the world – a world a lot bigger and not always as comfortable as the couch – but a wonderful world to belong to. It’s a super fun and sweet book. I hope you’ll check it out.
