This seemed
like an interesting and certainly relatable story. Everywhere you go, people
are glued to their phones. And why? What’s so important that you need to be on
your phone 24/7? It just makes me want to hate cell phones. Sometimes I feel
like shouting, “Put Away Your Phone!”
And that’s
what Emma does in this story. On a trip to the zoo, she decides to count the
number of people who were on their phone. As the number increases, her saying
of “Put Away Your Phone!” gets louder and more noticeable. By the end, she shouts it to the world: “Put
Away Your Phone!” Wise words we should all live by every now and then. I mean,
c’mon, people!
“Smartphones
should be called Dumbphones.” Funny and cute!
Illustrations
were colorful and showed Emma in wild and animated gestures, clearly making her
the focal point. I loved the animals’ expressions and gestures as Emma got more
and more frustrated. Yeah, the animals didn’t get it either.
Eventually
she comes to realize how vital phones can be in an emergency.
A fun,
relatable children’s story with a rewarding message!
