The story follows Tek, a prehistoric boy who is so obsessed with his gadgets that he misses the entire evolution of the world around him. Even as volcanoes erupt and dinosaurs roam, Tek stays glued to his cave. Through a clever physical design where the book itself looks and feels like a tablet, it explores themes of connection, the beauty of nature, and the joy of being present. It is an ideal pick for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating their first experiences with personal technology.
