"Put the Phone Down, Mary Lou" is a children's book by Bonnie Kostan that emphasizes the importance of less screen time and more imaginative play through the story of Mary Lou and her friend Jake.
In an age where digital devices dominate our daily interactions, "Put the Phone Down, Mary Lou" emerges as a crucial children's book skillfully written by Bonnie Kostan. This vibrant tale captivates young readers with its rhythmic storytelling and a poignant message about the value of real-world experiences over screen time.

"Put the Phone Down, Mary Lou" tells the story of a young girl named Mary Lou who is fixated on her phone. Her friend Jake makes numerous attempts to draw her attention away from the screen. With Jake's encouragement, Mary Lou learns to explore the wonders of her imagination and the joy of reading books. Bonnie Kostan, a spirited mother of three and a registered nurse, infuses her story with charm and a heartfelt message about friendship and perseverance.

Literary Titan describes the children's book as "charming" and praises its "vibrant illustrations and straightforward language" that make the book's message clear and engaging for children. The reviewer notes, "The repeated phrase, 'Put the phone down, Mary Lou,' echoes like a gentle reminder, and for kids, repetition can really help drive a message home."

Bonnie Kostan's playful and nurturing nature shines through her storytelling, drawing from her background as a children's book author and a loving mother. Her books, including "Put the Phone Down, Mary Lou" and "Kendra's New Shoes," are designed to foster empathy, curiosity, and confidence in young readers.

The book has received a 5-star rating on Amazon, where reviewer Monica highlights its relevance, saying the book "...is so relevant in today's world... This book is a great way to teach a child that staring at a phone is not good, and hopefully, some of the adults reading this book to a child will think again, and get the child involved in activities!"
