A Good Reminder For Young and Old

I felt a little silly reading this on a Kindle, but I certainly agree with the message of Beyond the Screen, Lima Bean. I think it’s important to teach kids (and remind parents) to take plenty of screen breaks in our every day lives. This book definitely made me want to go sit in a park and enjoy the sunshine.

Cute story that reminds children to be children and not relay on technology all the time

This story encourages children to be children and not be on technology so much like the phone, tv, computer, and gaming systems. It encourages them to look around move around and do things in person.( But right now in a safe way).

Beyond the Screen, Lima Beans is a whimsical book about too much screen time: playing games, talking on the cell phone and computers.

This quirky narrative encourages young readers to go out and play and make the most of their day.

Author Laura has added a cut out activity at the back of the book for kids to list their hopes and dreams.
