Screen Time!

The perfect companion to Toy Story 5!

In Georgie Birkett's sunny, funny Cheery Street world, we meet sweet baby badger Doris who loves to play ... until she discovers SCREEN TIME.

Doris loves screen time. Whether it is on Mummy or Daddy’s phones, the tablet or her favourite TV show “Bertie Banana”, she wants NOTHING ELSE. So, one day, with all devices left at home, Daddy and Doris go to Cheery Woods. Through playing with her friends - building dens and becoming explorers - Doris’s imagination is set alight! There is SO much fun to be had outside in nature. Soon, Doris realises that although some screen time is OK – facetiming grandparents! – it is no match for her own imagination.

A really fun and accessible story for screen-swiping kids and text-tapping parents who need a screen break and want to manage and balance time online with OTHER fun activities. This friendly picture book tackles the important and timely issue of excessive screen time in a funny and light-hearted way, offering gentle alternatives to technology through playtime, community and friendship.
