It's a Book by Lane Smith

This is a cute picture book mocking the ultra- techno society we seem to  becoming. The book is about a monkey and a donkey. The donkey is on his computer when he notices that the monkey has a weird rectangular thing made of paper in his hands. He then proceeds to ask him what it is and how to use it, but he keeps asking questions that would only apply to an electronic device. For example the donkey would ask 'how do you scroll down?' or 'does it need a password?' to which the monkey always replies 'it's a book'. It's a funny and playful reflection on the move from physical things to more digital medium.
