Could see this being a parent favorite!

This was a cute book that reminds kids that it’s fun to go outside and do things in real life, and not always behind a screen! It’s good to unplug from time to time! Such a great message for kids!

This is a cute story about going unplugged and living life unplugged. Great illustrations and a nice talking point for parents and kids or students and teachers.

An extremely cute, creative story about the wonders of getting outside. I loved the transition from grayscale to color!

cute pics but this plot has been overdone

Wonderful story with a great message for today's kids! I liked the "Wizard of Oz" element in the first part of the book. The illustrations are very fun, and the story is cute. Parents will also enjoy this message, and it can be a starting point for family and classroom adventures. Very fun!

Every year the city of Meridian does "Unplug and Be Outside." It is a week-long event where families are encourages to get out from behind the screens and be out in nature. Typically, every year, I do this book in my storytime.

It's the story of Blip who loved her computer but one day she gets unplugged. She finds her way OUTSIDE. She goes to faraway places and makes new friends....things she does every day in the computer world but this time, she gets a new perspective. Kind of true with real life and us humans!

What kids notice is how the book is black and while until Blip gets outside. The colors are SO engaging; it makes the reader want to be outside. Sure, you could argue it is propaganda messaging ;) But it is a good reminder that sometimes we do need to unplug.

Very cute, I approve.

Good message for young readers.
