Review by Jeyran Main in Review Tales

“Mom & Dad Are Dinosaurs!” by Frank Mastropolo is a delightful and uproariously funny exploration into the generational tech divide that plagues many modern families. Through the eyes of their tech-savvy son, readers are given a front-row seat to the comedic trials and tribulations of a pair of parents who are bewilderingly lost in the digital age.

Mastropolo masterfully captures the essence of family dynamics in an era where technology reigns supreme and does so with a keen wit that will have readers of all ages laughing out loud. The book shines a humorous light on the struggles of trying to bring no-tech parents up to speed with emails, social media, and the myriad of other technological advancements that have become second nature to younger generations.

Illustrated with photo-cartoons that perfectly complement Mastropolo’s witty narrative, “Mom & Dad Are Dinosaurs!” is not just a book but an experience. It offers a laugh-out-loud journey that resonates with anyone who has ever attempted to explain the concept of streaming music to a parent or why GPS is a more reliable navigator than the sun.

Beyond the humor, this book also touches on the warmth and affection inherent in family relationships. The son’s affectionate teasing of his parents’ technological ineptitude is underpinned by a deep familial bond and love. It’s a reminder that, in the end, these moments of confusion and hilarity are what make family life so rich and memorable.

“Mom & Dad Are Dinosaurs!” serves as a comedic reality check for anyone who’s ever felt befuddled by the fast pace of technological change, making it a perfect read for both the tech-illiterate and the digital natives who love them. Mastropolo’s narrative is a testament to the fact that while technology may change, the love and laughter within a family remain constant.

In summary, Frank Mastropolo’s “Mom & Dad Are Dinosaurs!” is a must-read for anyone looking for a light-hearted, humorous take on family life in the digital age.
