This might seem a simple picture book with a few words per page... but it had staff in fits of laughter! The monkey is reading a book, and the donkey can’t’ understand how a book could possibly work if it is not a computer. The humour is very dry, and plays up on our sense of unease at the arrival of ebooks and ebook readers. The illustrations are very interesting as they combine cartoon styles with a strong sense of graphic design.
This is a delightful book to read to children from four up.... but I suspect it is a book you will be showing your guests at the next dinner party as well. I liked it so much I purchased my own copy, complete with the "Its a Book" Book Bag.
