Sofa Boy Warns Kids to Moderate Video Game Play

Feb 27 2009, 11:00am CST | by Shane McGlaun

A new book called Sofa Boy helps teach kids that video game moderation is important. Any parent with a kid who plays video games has heard the same things when it's time to turn the games off. Kids beg for more time, to finish just one more race or to finish a level.

The book looks at an average boy who sits on the couch all day playing video games and refuses to eat, play, or bathe. The book shows what happens to sofa boy when he plays too many video games.

Exactly what happens is unknown, but the publisher's website says some of its kid's books have a "dark" twist. I would assume that Sofa Boy turns into a couch or something. Be sure the book won't freak your kid out before buying.
