Oh, boy, is this book perfect for our time. It's unbelieveable how many times I get asked "a bookstore? Why did you open a bookstore? No one reads books anymore." It's a Book, shows that even though you can't tweet, blog, or text with a book, it is still worth your time. The illustrations are simple and cute and the text switches between characters. The "anti-book" character in a computer like font and the "pro-book" character in a storybook font (the same as the cover). It was cute and quirky and entertained me. Good for any age really, but based on the language and word choice, it might be meant for early readers.
Warning: The anti-book character is a donkey who's name is Jackass. The last line of the book is "It's a book, Jackass." So it's a cute and simple children's book, but because the last line has some obvious second meanings, you may want to consider who you buy it for.
