Do you mean to imply the books are all on the tablet or that the reading is replaced by apps?

Of course it’s each parents prerogative, but I would never trade the beaten up pile of Gerald and Piggy for an app in a million years.

The GP means to imply that smartphones and tablets are far more compelling to children than books.

Luckily as parents we get to control exactly how much they use those devices, at least through about 4th or 5th grade.
