Bookroo's summary

A young boy's dislike for television baffles his parents, who seek expert advice. As they struggle to understand, the boy reveals a simple truth: he craves their attention more than any screen. This heartwarming tale explores the power of family connection and the joy found in shared moments, challenging the notion that entertainment must come from a device. Will the parents embrace this new perspective and discover the true value of their son's presence?

From the publisher

The Boy Who Did Not Like Television is a wonderful story of young boy who one wish is that his parents would turn off the television and turn their attention to him instead. This distresses his parents, but eventually they come to realize that their son is more entertainment than television could ever be and they all spend happier times together.
