About This Book
Reach for this book when your child seems more enchanted by the glow of a screen than the world around them, or when they struggle to transition away from their favorite media. It is an ideal choice for the child who daydreams about stepping into their favorite stories to escape feelings of boredom or loneliness. The story follows a young boy named Janty who magically enters his television set to join a party with his favorite puppets. While the fantasy is initially thrilling, he soon discovers that the digital world is flat and lacks the warmth of real life. This gentle classic by Don Freeman helps children appreciate the tangible comforts of home and family over the illusory allure of screen-based entertainment. It is perfectly suited for children ages 3 to 7 who are beginning to navigate their relationship with technology and imagination.
