Review

"The rhyming text and all-too-real scenarios will surely grab a parent's attention while validating the child's view of their parent's use of a cell phone. Excellent subject for today's electronic mania." -Kathy McClure, Executive Director, Eva K. Bowlby Library


"I love, love, love this book! As a Mom, I know how quickly time goes. Don't waste another minute and 'Turn Off Your Silly Phone!' What a great book!!!!"-Dawn Gallis, Assistant Director of Early Childhood Services


"'Mama, come play a game with me!' said the little boy. 'Just a minute, I have to finish this text.' 'Oh no, ' said the boy, 'maybe tomorrow.' How many times have you had a similar interaction with your child? In our adult world, the messages, emails, and calls never stop, unless we choose to put away our silly phones and really focus on our relationships with our children. This book is a good reminder that we need to live in the moment and enjoy making memories and building emotional capital with children while we can. There are so many things we could miss if we don't turn off our silly phones!" -Meredith Burton, Director- Furman University Child Development Center, President of the South Carolina Association for the Education of Young Children

"When does your smartphone get silly? When you start missing life's precious moments! We bemoan how kids are screen-obsessed, but Steve Metzger flips the narrative to focus on parents who can't 'disconnect' to truly connect. In sassy rhyme, a menagerie of kids demand some real 'face time' from their parents . . . and in the process, the children themselves absorb the value of being present & connected with their loved ones!"

-Eileen the Storyteller, Kidtime Storytime, Mother of Puppets, kidtimestorytime.com


"Whimsical and engaging, Turn Off Your Silly Phone! is a timely reminder for kids and adults alike to be together in the moment." -Dr. Diane Jackson Schnoor, Associate Director, Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum
