It's a Book

Smith, L. (2010). It’s a book. New York, New York: Roaring Brook Press. All Monkey wants to do is sit quietly and read his book. He is not able to do so when Jackass keeps interrupting him asking him what he has. It seems that Jackass does not know what a book is and keeps comparing it to a laptop. Through several questions, Monkey continuously tells Jackass he has a book. Smith uses simplistic lines with the illustrations in the book. The characters are easily identifiable for young readers. This book can be used for older readers in finding theme. This can also be used for older readers to respond to the use of technology today and how print is being overtaken by the digital age. The book trailer is attached to view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4BK_2VULCU
