    About this audiobook

    An Instant New York Times Bestseller * An Instant Indie Bestseller * An Indie Next List Selection

    Feeling fried? Peel yourself on the couch and meet your new pal-tato! The winning fourth picture book from the #1 New York Times bestselling 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?

    Readers 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 funny, bestselling books for kids 4-8 and anyone who wants a laugh:

    • 3/5
      The couch potato has the comfiest couch in the world, why would it ever leave it? But one day there's a power outage and it discovers that there's some pretty great things about going outside and being with friends.Not quite as subtle as some of the other books in this series, but cute all the same. As always, I love the many potato puns included in the illustrations.
