About this story
Even tablets need a bedtime! Kai loves Tabby, the family tablet: dinosaur videos, building games and a song about a dancing banana. But "just one more video" is making Kai grumpy, tired and fuzzy-headed. Then Tabby starts yawning too! Together, Kai and his parents write a Screen-Time Agreement: when, how long, and where screens sleep at night. When the timer goes ding-dong, Kai discovers a whole world of real-world fun. A playful, practical story about healthy screen habits. For ages 5-8.
