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? A cautionary tale that kids will devour whole!

There are lots of things Duncan likes about bedtime --- the stories, the pajamas, the bubblegum-flavored toothpaste ... The only thing he doesn't like is going to sleep. And he'll do anything he can to avoid it. Until one day, Duncan's mom has had enough of his stalling. "Try counting sheep," she tells him. So, he does. At first, it's kind of fun. As he counts, each sheep appears, wearing its number like a race car, and leaps over the bed. But then comes Sheep #68, who hesitates. He needs a drink of water before he can jump. Then he has to go to the bathroom. Then he wants to put on running shoes. Will Sheep #68 ever do what he's supposed to? Kerry Lyn Sparrow's hilarious picture book story offers a new take on a universal experience. Using delaying tactics to avoid going to sleep at bedtime is a common routine for young children, and they'll love the sly humor when Duncan's own tricks get turned on him by the ("sheepish") sheep. In subtle colors with lots of telling details, Guillaume Perreault's illustrations bring Duncan's bedtime rituals and his unexpected sheep guests humorously to life. This book makes a fantastic, funny read-aloud, appealing to both children and adults.
