Polly and the Screen Time Overload: Book Review

BOOK BY: Betsy Childs Howard; Illustrated by Samara Hardy

This beautifully illustrated children’s book is the perfect story to introduce to young children wanting their own electronic devices. The story follows Polly who gets an iTab for her birthday while visiting her grandparents on their farm. Polly discovers what happens when her battery runs out and how much she’s been missing by playing on her screen.

The story is succinct, yet written so that young ones will understand. There is a great moral given, and the story encourages children to enjoy life rather than focus on the screen. It’s a necessary story given the prevalence of electronic devices.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
