Our Verdict: GET IT — Kirkus Reviews

★★★★★ As a teacher, I was so excited to read this story to my class of first graders. They applauded the book at the end and all came up with things they can do besides screen time. The story was engaging, wonderfully written, and had beautiful illustrations. This is a must read for parents, teachers, and anyone who is around kids who only want to be on their screens.

★★★★★ Oh my goodness! What a sweet story, told from the perspective of a mama to a little guy who struggles with screen addiction. (I hear you, mama.) Lovely illustrations and so fun to read out loud. I highly recommend this for any littles needing a nudge to play in real life.

★★★★★ This book is fantastic! Not only does it teach students an incredibly important lesson, but it does so in such a fun and entertaining way! Working in a middle school offers me daily reminders of the negative effects of social media on children. Using books to teach kids these lessons at a young age is critical to their healthy development! Everyone with young children should buy this book today!

★★★★★ Very cute book! This book has sparked some good conversations about the importance of not being on screens all the time. My kids love to discuss what real life activity they would pick for Jay (the boy in the story) and for themselves!

★★★★★ Bye Bye Wi-Fi is such a clever and relevant children's book! I loved the rhyming and the many ideas the author provided of things kids can do, rather than be on a device. I have a 5 year old who loved it, and my older kids thought the book was written about them. I will be buying more to give as gifts!

★★★★★ This book was the perfect accompaniment to addressing screen time limits with our kiddos! The clever rhyming and fantastic illustrations kept the content fun and our kids engaged. The author has clearly navigated screen time limits as shown by the candid and sometimes silly examples in the book.

★★★★★ The author captivates the reader with cleaver rhyme while challenging the child to interact with the story. It’s beautifully illustrated with a timely topic. The book is a friendly reminder of the good things in life.

★★★★★ This book is not only a story but an engaging experience, encouraging children to make healthier choices that foster joy, friendship, and real-world exploration. With its lovable characters and a humorous, cheeky cat, the book is a heartwarming reminder of life's simple pleasures when we disconnect from technology. A must-read for families looking to inspire their children with the beauty of looking up and engaging in the world around them.
