Praise for Dan Yaccarinoβs Doug Unplugged:
Β
βWithout preaching, [Yaccarino] comments smartly on childrenβs screen time and the necessity of outdoor play and exploration.β βPublishers Weekly
Β
βYaccarino is especially good at slipping in the small, nourishing details that are savored upon repeated readings. . . . Itβs a sweet tale and true to the anti-technology, analog strain that runs through much of Yaccarinoβs work.β βThe New York Times Book Review
