The Truth About the Couch

"Praise for The Truth About the Couch: A New York Times Bestseller An Indie Bestseller ""Full-on mayhem . . . Via this collection of musings, Rubin (High Five) proves as quippy as ever . . . perhaps prompting human readers to regard their own settees in a new and more appreciative light."" —Publishers Weekly ""A hilarious send-up of conspiracy theories and adults’ attempts to shelter children from the real world . . . Funny and thought provoking.."" —Kirkus Reviews ""The supremely silly story seems straightforward and then delightfully defies expectations, offering wildly inaccurate insights into furniture history and behavior. Garrulous graphite pencil and watercolor illustrations capture the hilarious high jinks with style and exuberance, and the clever stage-on-a-page depiction is a snazzy touch. A splendidly offbeat ode to the seemingly simple sofa."" —Booklist ""A very clever fox argues that sometimes a couch is more than a couch. If you want something fun to read with kids ages 3-7, this book is a dream."" —The Washington Post ""The same kind of interactive storytelling quality as Dragons Love Tacos, but this time, you’re learning all about a couch—and all the many conspiracy theories that go into it. It’s equal parts a book about how misinformation is spread and just a fun, silly book about a piece of furniture."" —Romper ""As zany as [Rubin's] beloved Dragons Love Tacos."" —Washington Parent"
