Are you ALWAYS getting told to turn off the screen?
Finally - help has arrived.
49 Excuses for Getting More Screen Time is the ultimate secret weapon for kids who know, deep in their hearts, that they absolutely deserve more gaming, more YouTube, and definitely more TV.
Inside you'll find 49 perfectly ridiculous (yet surprisingly convincing) excuses, covering:
- Games consoles - the Final Boss won't defeat itself
- TV & streaming - that cliffhanger is a genuine emergency
- YouTube - this is educational, obviously
- Phones - important scientific research, thank you
- Tablets & e-books - saving the trees, one download at a time
Each excuse comes with its own doodle, because reading should be quick, fun, and ideally done on a screen.
Perfect for kids aged 6-10 who are absolutely not addicted to screens. They're just very, very dedicated.
