Welcome to Litsy!

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.

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.

“Yes, there's a great big world out there... and I want to be a part of it. In person.“

A super cute and fun story about the couch potato and their adventures of coming out of their comfort zone.

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.

One of the Couch Potato's favorite activities is reading on the couch! #charactersreading This is totally me, all weekend!
