Reviews

Finally, a book for kids about the safe and responsible use of their first phone! A remarkably entertaining and informative read by Jessica Speer, The Phone Book will be hard for both kids (and adults!) to put down. It's peppered with interesting tech tidbits and activities that keep readers engaged, and every chapter neatly wraps up with a useful checklist. From cover to cover, it is packed with great information written in a language that does not speak down to kids, and I love that she tackles the most important topic first- Why Tech Companies Want You Staring at Your Phone. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book. The Phone Book really should be required reading for any child about to get a connected device. I have a feeling they will even thank you for it. -Diana Graber, Author of Raising Humans in a Digital World and Founder of Cyber Civics and Cyberwise Jessica has done it again! The Phone Book is a unique, engaging, easy read for tweens and teens! I loved the 'reality check' sections, the trivia, the True or False sections, and the guided questions for kids. This book is fun to read and has so much real information for kids (and parents). I especially loved the message that your phone can be a source of good in the world..it's how you use it! I will be recommending this to parents who attend my Tech Reset Masterclass as they navigate screen time limits and agreements with their tweens and teens. -Therese Connolly, Parent Coach/Psychotherapist, Host of The Parenting Reset Show Podcast and Tech Reset Masterclass for Parents of Tweens and Teens Tech is something we TEACH to our children, rather than just hand over to them. This guide is a wonderful companion for teaching digital citizenship skills to adolescents, helping them discover the difference between mindful and mindless screen time. From texting tips to healthy tech checklists, this is a wonderful resource for kids and digital literacy teachers alike. Just as we teach our kids how to be kind, safe, and discerning in the real world, let's offer them that same wisdom about their 2D experience.-Jennifer Bochsler + Kay De Veer, Founders of Tech-Wise Littles, helping parents of littles ages 0-6 start screens safely and smartly Jessica Speer's interactive books explore topics that matter to preteens and teens. Combining fun activities, humor, and stories, Speer's writing style combined with her understanding of kids makes her books relatable, entertaining, and best of all, helpful during the ups and downs of adolescence.-Dr. Cherylee E. Hirsch, Psy.D., School Psychologist
