The world awaits YOU!
He has almost every electronic device he wants to watch from his robotic couch, until one day he adds a new device and the electricity fails, causing the house to go dark.
He goes outside and discovers a whole new world. Surprised by the sun’s brightness, Couch Potato discovers a world even more realistic than a big screen TV.
The chirping sound isn’t a ringtone, it’s real birds! Soon the formerly sedentary potato is hiking, biking, playing board games, and hanging out with friends.
Couch Potato decides to live his life “in person".
A real-life lesson for all of us who spend too much time on screens instead of engaging with others and the world.
While this book is recommended for young readers, its humorous illustrations and message is for everyone. Also available as a VOX book
