It's a Book

Reach for this book when you find yourself in a constant tug-of-war with your child over screen time or if they seem baffled by anything that doesn't have a touch screen. This clever, minimalist story features a donkey who is obsessed with his laptop and a monkey who is simply trying to read a printed book. It humorously highlights the fundamental differences between digital distractions and the immersive power of a good story. While the humor is dry and sophisticated, the book is perfectly accessible for children aged 4 to 8. It uses repetitive, rhythmic dialogue to explore themes of curiosity and the value of slowing down. Parents will appreciate how it validates the physical reading experience without being overly preachy, making it an excellent conversation starter about how we choose to spend our time and attention.
