A Must Read For Children and Their Parents
This is a must read for children and parents to stay safe via the internet and to avoid addiction to it. Help keep your kids safe. The message is so relevant at this time with all the sickness on social media.
Great learning book!
This book is a great way to teach children the importance of screen time and having limits as well. Very well worded and fun pictures for kids to look at. We enjoyed reading this together.
Great pick
Adorable Book. Easily relatable to my children . A great aid in helping set limits on electronics .
Great book
I liked the story because it involved something that my kids could relate to, and it thought a nice lesson. I also liked the brief advice section in the end for parents. I think that the moral of this book is a very relevant one in this day and age.
So cute!
Omg!!! This was such a cute story! Really helped me to relate to my kids the importance of limiting screen time!
Good message for heavy screen users
The message of the book was good, but the format of it was quite awful. It looks like someone has printed it straight from ms word! There are no page numbers so no way to track it in my son’s reading diary (we ended up reading it all in one). Aside from that, the book provides a good message to kids about limiting screen time, I just wish it flowed a bit better!
Delightful Children's Book about Internet Safety
I found this picture book delightful, a wonderful way for parents and children to learn together the potential pitfalls of tablet overuse in a digital age of omnipresent devices. Author Kyla Cullinane has written a charming story in rhyming verse with delightful illustrations that children will love. Screen time and apps can be educational and entertaining. With the right safeguards, it is a wonderful way to learn and engage with others. However, as Clicker the Cat finds out, it can become obsessive and alienate you from your friends and from enjoying your life beyond the tablet. It is a good book for parents and grandparents to read with children and to begin a discussion that they will understand. They may know someone who fell into Clicker’s trap. How did that make them feel? At the end of the book Author Cullinane has useful Tips for Tablet Use with suggestions for how to control screen time and discuss internet safety. I highly recommend this charming picture book with its important message that is both entertaining and educational for parent and child. I gave it five big stars.
Poorly written.
The story was flat, illustrations distorted and editor / author should have caught typos (tabelet for tablet). I have purchased several titles for a K-5 computer classroom library to use to teach my students strong digital citizenship skills. This book was not up to the standards the other titles were that I chose. I recommend choosing other titles over this one.
Great message!
This short picture book is great for children! It's a super easy read, providing a very valuable message. Children these days spend too much time on screen and not enough playing outdoors and getting dirty like a kid is supposed to! This short story is well written, and has the cutest little cat as the main character! Over all, this book is a great choice for kiddos!
Too much time online theme
Clicker the Car by Kyle Cullinane has a good theme told well without being preachy. Gets the point across with rhyming words and simple, but nice, illustrations.
