It's a Book

Smith, L. (2011). It's a book. London: Macmillan Children's Books.

Jackass comes along one day and asks Monkey what he has in his hands as Monkey explains it's a book. Jackass asks if he can do several things with it such as: text, tweet, blog with it, if it has wifi, etc. Monkey repeatedly exclaims "It's a book!" Monkey then decides to show him a climatic part he's on and all Jackass can say is the text is too long and says he can fix the letter problem. He translates it all into text language. Monkey grows with frustration.Spurred by curiosity he begins to read it himself. Hours go by and Monkey wants his book back and Jackass tells him not to worry that he'll charge it. The story ends with Monkey frustratingly telling him he doesn't have to because "It's a Book!" This is a great story for anyone that needs to be reminded that sometimes tangible books are just as great!
