Rezension(5): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: November 1, 2020 Can a couch potato peel themself off their beloved, comfortable couch? John and Oswald's titular spud certainly finds it very hard to do so. Why should they leave their comfy, cozy couch when everything that's needed is within reach? Their doodads and gadgets to amuse and entertain, their couch's extendable gloved hands to grab food from the kitchen, and screens upon screens to watch their favorite TV shows (highlights: MadYam, Fries), play their favorite video games, and livestream their friends. Where's the need to leave the living room? Then...PEW-WWWWWWW! The electricity goes out one day. Left without screens and gizmos, the couch potato decides to take dog Tater for a walk...outside, where the trees and birds and skies seem rich, like a high-resolution 156-inch curved screen, but even more realistic. The outdoor experience proves cathartic and freeing, away from those cords that bind, liberating enough to commit this couch potato to spending more time off the couch. Similar to The Bad Seed (2017), The Good Egg (2019), and The Cool Bean (2019) in small-scale scope and moral learning, this latest guidebook to life retains John's attention to textual goodness, balancing good-humored laughs with a sincere conversational tone that immediately pulls readers in. Naturally, Oswald's succinct artwork--loaded with genial spuds, metatextual nods, and cool aloofness--continues this loose series' winsome spirit. No counterarguments here, couch potatoes.

" Rezension(6): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: November 1, 2020 Preschool-Grade 2 A self-satisfied spud, Couch Potato spends any free time slouching on an upscale couch (equipped with robotic arms that supply snacks) and facing a wall of screens offering multiple electronic entertainment options. One day, when the electricity fails and the house suddenly goes dark, the potato ventures outdoors. Surprised by the sun's brightness, Couch Potato likens the real world to a high-resolution 156-inch curved screen, but even more realistic. The chirping sound isn't a ringtone,actual birds are nearby! Soon the formerly sedentary potato is hiking, biking, playing board games, and hanging out with friends. Upon reflection, Couch Potato decides to live his life in person. Written with a light touch, the story is amusing and appealing, while the lively, increasingly colorful illustrations portray the settings and the main character with expression. From the writer and illustrator of The Bad Seed (2017), The Good Egg (2019), and The Cool Bean (2019), this picture book certainly has a point to make, but it does so with disarming wit and abundant charm.

" Rezension(7): "〈a href=http://www.slj.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/schoollibraryjournal_logo.png alt=School Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: December 1, 2020K-Gr 3- The term couch potato was coined in 1979 to describe kids who spent more time on the couch than outside playing. John's book toys with that concept in this exaggerated story of an anthropomorphic potato who pridefully shows the reader every device it owns. Each of them is designed to make sure Couch Potato never gets off the couch. When one last device is delivered and is plugged in, the lights go out. Couch Potato opens the curtains and notices what they haven't seen in ages: the outdoors! With nothing else to do, Couch Potato ventures outside and finds there is plenty to do. The COVID-19 pandemic has kept children in isolation indoors and developing couch potato tendencies through no fault of their own,this tale is timely and helps make the point that a balance of technology and old-school fun might be the way to go. The cartoonish art serves the story well, reaching for every last pun and bit of wordplay. VERDICT A goofy story about the dangers of too much of one thing, and a lighthearted lesson for all.- Joan Kindig, James Madison Univ., Harrisonburg, VACopyright 2020 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
