. PICTURE BOOK Anderson Press 2021 $18.00 9781728424125 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Old MacDonald loves his smart phone, but when he accidentally drops it in the lake, and then accidentally buys 100 replacements, all the animals start using the phones and the farm shuts down. With all the phone usage, no one is doing their job! 

Clever illustrations, but I had trouble maintaining the rhythm and rhyme. I thought the illustrations were funny,  with some of the farm animals acting like people on their phones.  Kids who relate will find the humor, it's what happens when phones take over, and maybe a good lesson will be learned, about sensibly using the technology we have.
