What Would Happen If You Never Left the Couch? - Paperback

by Thomas Kingsley Troupe (Author), Anna Mongay (Illustrator)

I'M NOT GETTING UP! What would happen if you took it to the extreme and never got off the couch? This humorous, fact-based cautionary tale shows the effects of not exercising on your body--and your social life! For kids who want to know the why of everything, author Thomas Kingsley Troupe takes readers down an imaginative, subtly instructive path of what ifs. If you never get off the couch, isolation gives way to poor nutrition, reduced bone mass, and a shortened life span, leading to the conclusion that getting outside for some exercise is good after all. Expressive illustrations bring these narrative nonfiction stories to life. Fun facts, tips for being more active, a glossary, and further resources enhance learning.
