| Publisher Description: 2021 Scree-Free Week Book List Selection! A kid-friendly reminder of the dark side of connected life. - Kirkus Reviews "Three country bears out for a walk in the woods discover a mysterious device. Inside are pictures, videos, songs, and, best of all, a tally of friends from all over the world. Bruno is immediately enthralled and relishes in the addition of each new "friend" on his phone, ignoring the friends right beside him. When Bruno's phone loses power, he finds out who his real friends are. This picture book is a cautionary tale for the twenty-first century." - Foreword Reviews Bruno is very happy when he finds a mobile phone. Suddenly, he has many friends, all over the world! But he spends so much time with his "magic box", he forgets all about Renzo & Rico. A heartwarming picture book about what makes a real friendship. For children ages 5 years and up. |
