I wanted to share a funny book that I ran across recently ..It's a Book (yes that is the title) written by Lane Smith. This a story about a lovable monkey, a jackass (really) that is "techie", and a little mouse that speaks the truth...a straight shooter and what occurs when they encounter print in a book.
This book is a fun & silly take on the issues of the new digital age and how our children are "digital
natives" vs. adults known as "digital immigrants."The author does a great job of bringing to surface the great debate between book lovers vs. e-readers in this children's picture book iced with tongue in cheek humor.
Lane Smith is a very accomplished author and illustrator he has won several awards for his books. He has won the Caldecott Honor Medal for illustrations in The Stinky Cheese Man & 3 of his books have won the New York Times Best Illustrated Book. Some of his bestselling books are The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, It's a Book , and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
