Tek: The Modern Cave Boy

40 pp. | Little | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-33805-9 $15.99
(3) K-3 Young troglodyte Tek never leaves his cave, ignoring everything except his many gadgets. After the village volcano erupts, disconnecting his electronics, he discovers the wonders of the outside world. This lighthearted cautionary tale about technology addiction is enhanced by exuberant ink and watercolor illustrations. The clever formatting incorporates tablet design elements such as a battery indicator that dwindles as the story progresses.
