Bookroo's summary
Couch Potato loves his cozy spot, surrounded by screens and comfort. But when a power outage strikes, he's pushed to explore the world beyond his couch. As he ventures outside, Couch Potato discovers the unexpected joys of fresh air and sunshine. Could this new experience be the key to true happiness? Join him on a humorous journey of balancing screen time with real-life adventures, and find out if the great outdoors can compete with his beloved screens.
From the publisher
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?
