Unplugged

It’s a not so subtle, yet still cute and charming, reminder of the joys we miss when we spend too much time in front of a screen and not enough outside.  It tells the story of a small robot who spends all day plugged into her computer, until there is a blackout and she trips over her cord.  She tumbles down the stairs and out the door where she spends a day of adventure, pursuing activities that are similar and yet so different from those she does on the computer, all while making new forrest-animal friends. As the sun sets, little Blip returns home and plugs herself back in, but can’t stop thinking about being unplugged. The illustrations take a tip from the Wizard of Oz, with the plugged-in pages in black and white, while the outdoor adventures are in full color.
