this is a clever book for... older kids. Not so much for my two year olds. Don't really need them repeating the word jackass. Nor would they get the concept of the technology vs a book. Not a good read for toddlers or preschoolers.
A children's librarian showed me this book a few years ago and I fell in love with it based solely on the last page. Today at a church book sale, I found a copy that looks like it's never even been touched, and I snapped it up. [spoiler] Because I love any children's book that ends with: It's...
A copy of this wonderful thing was given to me for my birthday by my Mim (or grandmother). The story behind why goes a bit like this: another copy of this book had been removed from my former Elementary School Library because of the word used at the end. Anyway, this peaked Mim's interested and sh...
I work two days a week at an all-Mac primary school doing tech support. Because we're all Mac, there aren't any tech issues and I spend an inordinate amount of my two days on my book sites, killing time until it's time to go home and, you know, spend more time on my book sites.

If Lane Smith's "It's a Book" were to have a subtitle, it would be "A Print Book's Manifesto". The story depicts a conversation between a donkey* (with a computer) and a monkey (with a print book and a mouse sidekick). As children are wont to do, Donkey* pesters Monkey about the book's capabilitie...
This book (along with others) was gifted to me by one of my English professors after I helped her do a workshop for English teachers grades K-3. It's a very sweet and lovable story for children that showcases people's overuse of technology to the point that they no longer can recognize something as ...
This is a kid's book for adults, and it is brilliant! The point of the book, along with its humor, would fly right over the heads of children, but that's what makes it so great. Hilarious.
