It's a Book by Lane Smith

Smith, L. (2010). It’s a book. New York: Roaring Brook Press

It's a Book is a clever little book that uses very few words, a donkey, and a gorilla to effectively explain in an ever-expanding technological age what a book is.  The illustrations are even simple, but very effective and are done in such a way as to draw the reader's attention to the written word.  The simplicity and humor of the book is, in my opinion, what makes It's a Book's impact so strong.
