Title: Subtle and funny tale of acceptance
Product review: He Came With the Couch tells the story of Sophie and her family, who find themselves in need of a new couch after the family dog, Roscoe, destroys the old one. They pick up a suitable couch at a rummage sale -- but it happens to come with a silent blue creature who is not budging despite the parents' best efforts to relocate him. By the end, of course, they are happy to make him part of the family. This story is quite subtle -- much of the action occurs in the pictures and the text is rather sparse. That's not a complaint -- my 3 year old understood the story perfectly -- just a heads up to parents who may wish to spend some time talking about what goes on in the illustrations. My 3 year old finds the whole story quite hilarious, from the way the dog destroys the couch, to the last line: "She came with the chair!," which she likes to shout out. A great book for some family fun at reading time.
