* "McDonnell (Thank You and Goodnight) plays fast and loose with
the historical record in this playful cautionary tale...ever-cute
creatures deliver the story's tech-addiction message with a grin,
and clever references abound."--Publishers Weekly, starred
review
"A winning sendup of digital addiction."--BookPage
"Fun and lively."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Helps kids see for themselves that digital is not enough."--The
San Francisco Chronicle
"McDonnell blends the prehistoric with the present to send a clever
reminder to young readers that beyond their electronic realm there
is a world waiting to be explored.... Good, snarky fun for parents
and kids."
--Booklist
