This book only has three characters, a donkey, a mouse and a monkey. The monkey is trying to read a book, while the donkey is fascinated with only using a laptop. The donkey continuously interrupts monkey asking him about his book. The donkey wants to know what the monkey can do with his book-can he text; scroll, tweet or blog? When he asked him where his mouse was, a real mouse popped up from the monkey's hat. The monkey was so engrossed in his book that he continued to read it. Donkey took the book away and was immediately turned off by the number of words, but he started to read it and liked it. He told the monkey, don't worry I'll charge it before I give it back to you. And the mouse pops up and says "you don't have to charge it, jackass."
Personally, I thought the book was funny. I think upper elementary/middle school grades would enjoy this book as a read aloud from a teacher. It shows that even though there are so many great things with technology, books are still important. I could see reading this book to younger kids just leaving out the word jackass.
