Smith, L. (2011). It's a book. NY: Roaring Brook.
Here we have a cute story that reflects in a funny way the common use of technology. While the monkey in the story is reading a book, the jackass who is used to his computer does not understand what thebook is and its simple use. When he finally takes a look at the book, he is hooked and won't return it to the monkey. The whole composition of the book is clean and simple. The illustrator uses a light color pallette for his simple but enjoyable art.
This is a great book to discuss with students the importance of integrating both technology and books into learning!
As an extension activity, allow students to illustrate a bookcover for their favorite story book.
