It’s a Book. It’s a special book. It’s a special event. It’s a special book and a special event for the whole family! Meet Caldecott Honor winning author and illustrator Lane Smith for a special multimedia and interactive event for his amazing new book, It’s a Book (Roaring Brook, $12.99) . It’s about a monkey, a mouse, a jackass, a book and our digital world. It’s thoughtful, poignant and funny – with a mischievous little wink in its tone. It’s a book for our ever-changing age. And it’s a book for all ages. Lane Smith is the author and illustrator of the bestselling John, Paul, George & Ben and Madam President. He has also collaborated with Jon Scieszka on The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, Math Curse, and The Stinky Cheese Man, for which he received a Caldecott Honor award. He has also illustrated books by Dr. Seuss, Jack Prelutsky, and Roald Dahl. And now there’s It’s a Book. Book-loving and/or tech savvy adults, buy this book for yourselves. Parents, buy this for your kids. Grandparents, buy it for your kids AND your grandkids. Read it together; laugh together. Celebrate Grandparents’ Day with an event sure to entertain kids of all ages – even the kids who are old enough to collect Social Security!
