Reach for this book when the battle over the remote or tablet is becoming a daily ritual in your household. It is a gentle, relatable resource for families navigating the pull of digital entertainment and the challenge of setting healthy boundaries. The story follows Doris, a charming badger who swaps her imaginative play for a fixation on a cartoon character named Bertie Banana. When her parents notice she is losing her spark, a family trip to the woods helps her rediscover the joys of the physical world. Through Doris's journey, the book validates the very real appeal of screens while modeling a positive, non-punitive transition back to nature and community play. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary children, using humor and warmth rather than shame to encourage a balanced digital life. Parents will find it an excellent tool for opening a dialogue about why we sometimes need to put the devices away to find a bigger adventure.
