I just started reading The Bad Seed series to Jace this week. This is THE cutest series! This was my favorite page from this particular book - it‘s always great to see my favorite show, Mad Men, mentioned out in the wild. š… I would highly recommend this entire series and Jace really loved it as well. I love the artwork. #TheBadSeed #childrensbooks #MadMen #raisingreaders

GingerAntics I love all the pop culture references in those TV shows. š¤£š‚š¤£ 5mo

The Couch Potato | Jory John

This book is about a boy that loved to stay inside and do nothing but play video games. He never wanted to go outside or do anything else besides play his games. However, one day he is unable to play his video games because he loses power. He is forced to find something else to occupy him. He ends up going outside and realizing how much fun it is to do things other than playing video games all day.

channingfortney I think this is a great book to read to young children as well as middle childhood children. I feel as though many kids are computer and iPad kids these days and have never experienced the fun that is had when playing outside and being imaginative. 2y

The Couch Potato by Jory John is a great children's book about a Couch Potato that has everything he could ever need in arm's reach but will not get up off the couch. This story is great for young children about determination and the benefits of getting active and being outside.

Published in 2020, this story became an immediate New York times best seller. This is a story about a young potato who only enjoys playing video games. When his power goes out he is forced to find something else to entertain him. He goes outside and gets to explore the world and find beauty in little things other than video games. He ends up enjoying it and says that he is going to continue to do this more often.

kallikramer I think this is a great story to read to children because in todays world many students go home and play video games in their free time instead of going out and exploring and playing. I think this story has a great message that all students should hear about how there is so much more to life than just video games. 2y

The Couch Potato was written by Jory John and illustrated by Pete Oswald. The illustrations are adorable. The potato characters are super cute and fun. In addition, I really like the cartoon look. This story is about how it is okay to get out of your comfort zone and do/try new things.

Another fun read it #outloud
We liked how this book addressed how comfort isn't everything. The kids got a little dreamy about all the screens and gadgets even though they self selected to play outside. Currently I'm on the stoop while Lincoln logs are taking over the patio.

Reign_5.0 I read this book and just thought it was absolutely cute. I honestly think I've read almost all of them. 3y

mandarchy @Reign_1982 They are so funny and the kids love them. The Bad Seed is my favorite. 3y

Reign_5.0 @mandarchy I have, "The Good, The Bad, and The Spooky" on hold. I think, "The Good Egg" is my favorite 3y

mandarchy @Reign_1982 Ooh! I need to get that next. 3y
