Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My Laptop Was Lonely
Laura J. Wellington · 2019
62/100
👎 Skip It
The personification angle — a laptop with feelings — is a genuinely clever hook for talking to young children about screen time, and the theme is timely for modern families. But with almost no critical reception to gauge quality and a small-press pedigree that limits editorial polish, it is hard to know whether the execution lives up to the concept. Worth a library browse before buying.
