This engaging picture book, presented in a unique tablet-shaped format, tells the story of Tek, a prehistoric boy completely engrossed in his digital devices. His constant screen time leads to isolation from his friends and family, and his vocabulary shrinks to a single grunt. The book humorously depicts the village's attempts to draw Tek out of his cave and back into the vibrant, real world. It's a heartfelt reminder for children and parents alike about the importance of balancing technology with outdoor play, social interaction, and genuine communication, making it perfect for sparking conversations about screen time.
Tek is a cave boy in love with tech: his tablet, videogames, phone, and TV keep him deep in his cave, glued to his devices, day in and day out. He never sees his friends or family anymore--and his ability to communicate has devolved to just one word: "UGH"! Can anyone in the village convince Tek to unplug and come outside into the big, beautiful world?
