A funny family story that turns the meaning of "couch potato" on its head.
Mr. Russet is the first to spot it. A potato. Right in the middle of the couch. He's had enough. "Every day I pick up this, I pick up that, I pick up everything!" he exclaims. "I will not pick up that potato!" And he doesn't. In fact, he won't pick up anything else either! But as the days pass, the rest of the family don't seem to mind the potato in the living room. Or the growing mess. What's a potato protestor to do?
"Sparrow ... and debuting Huang cleverly and inventively reaffirm a universal family truth: never underestimate how a little annoyance can quickly escalate into a laughably big deal."
Publishers Weekly
"Written in deadpan humour, The Couch Potato is a hilarious look at family life that everyone can relate to."
