review 1: It’s a Book is a picture book that I picked up, actually, at the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston. The premise of the book is two characters discussing a book; one of them is completely confounded that a book does not scroll, text, charge, or need a password. I found it incredibly clever and a serious reminder that in this age of overwhelming digital mediums, books are still wonderful to have and to hold.[return][return]While It’s a Book is appropriate from elementary to adults, some readers claim that the use of the word “jackass” at the end deems in it inappropriate for younger readers—despite the fact that the animal is, indeed, a jackass.
review 2: Lane Smith, illustrator of THE STINKY CHEESE MAN and THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, is at his
... more finest with this delightful book about a book. Monkey is reading a book. Jackass has apparently never seen a book before. He is trying to understand the idea of a book and has lots of questions. "Can it text? Tweet? Wi-Fi?" and does not understand why books are interesting. Then he tries reading the book. This book is perfectly written for the preschool audience who will laugh out loud at the donkey's confusion. Hysterical reminder about why books truly are such a wonderful thing. less
