The Slouch in the Couch

It's Saturday morning and all the children are out playing, except Rick. He did not do his weekend homework Friday night and can't go out to play with the other children until his homework is finished. With his books by his side, the couch suddenly starts to shake and a creature pops out holding a pink bag. The creature introduces himself as a Slouch who loves eating lazy children's schoolbooks then grabs Ricks schoolbooks and runs out of the house. With the help of his friend Mildred McGee, Rick and Milly have to catch the Slouch and get the schoolbooks back or Rick will never be able to go outside and play this weekend.
