This book portrays a story about a monkey, a mouse, and a jackass using different media sources. The jackass being tech savvy is not acquainted with print media. As the monkey hands him the book, the jackass becomes instantly intrigued by its content and begins reading the book. At the end of the story, the jackass realizes how enjoyable it is to hold a book to read.

The cover of the book is aesthetically pleasant and attracts the reader’s attention. This book can be used to teach the importance of having physical books to read and the great feeling you get when turning the pages.
