Set #1:It's a Book

Smith, L. (2010). It's a Book. New York: Roaring Book Press.
Lane Smith has crafted an amusing tale of Monkey trying to read a book with Jackass badgering him with questions. Monkey continues to read his book while Jackass peppers him with questions on how Monkey is processing the information in his book. Eventually, Jackass commandeers Monkeys book. Monkey heads to the library to get a new one. Lane Smith creates large scaled and richly colored characters against a neutral background. The simplicity of the pages allows the characters expressions and postures to speak volumes about their emotions. This would be a wonderful book to introduce all aspects of computer communication to young students. It's a Book, is also available in board book form for toddlers.
