It's A Book

 Smith, L. (2010). It's a Book. New York, NY: Roaring Brook Press. 

This story is about how reading books seems to be an outdated concept since technology seems to taking over how we do the simplest things like reading a book. The monkey who is reading the book keeps telling his friend who is a donkey that books can do everything like a computer can, but it can tell a great story if you just sit and read. The donkey finally got the idea and gave monkey's book a try, and eventually monkey needed to get a new book since donkey was reading his book. Find out what monkey decides to read next.
This short book would be ideal for struggling readers because of it short sentences and phrases. The monotone coloring works well with the pictures, and the story is told in a great way. The only thing I disliked is the other term for donkey was used for the story which some may find inappropriate.
