What a great topic to break down into byte size pieces for kids!

An early reader, this book is a great opening into chapter books. While content heavy, this book is full of great information for the child in your care, this book is simply wonderful to teach and talk to your kids about the science behind all the electronics in our lives. Your kids are sure to get into technology after reading this book and if they are already into technology, they are going to love this book as a gift.

With the various children shown in this book, you also get a diverse perspective from each child. It is funny in parts which is always a great hit with my kiddos, each 7 year old and 11 year old.

The colorful illustrations are another big plus. You see the children doing their own thing and even interactions with the adults. Each one unique in it’s own way, as is the interrelation aspects between the kids.

Daily we face multiple issues in our gadgets. This book helps build conversation around how to be more responsible with gadget use as well, a BIG PLUS for moms raising children in the digital age. LOVED !!!
