Dot.

HarperCollins, on shelves November 5, 2013
F&Gs provided by the publisher (almost as if they could read my mind)
"This is Dot.
Dot knows a lot.
She knows how to tap...
to touch...
to tweet...
and to tag."
Luckily, Dot's mom sends her outside to "REBOOT! RECHARGE! RESTART!" and Dot remembers about tapping with her toes, touching sunflowers with her fingertips, tweeting with the birds, and tagging her friends as they run past.
Yes, let's not let our children get so caught up in their devices that they forget the real world around them!
(Sorry to review this so far ahead of the publication date, but it was the right book at the right time, and I can't wait to share it with my students!)
It sounds wonderful! I can't wait to get my hands on it! Thank you for the recommendation - Christmas is coming, you know:)
