>>> BlackFriday It's a Book
As a picture book for grown ups It's a Book is clever and well illustrated easily a 4/5. However it is being marketed to children four to eight years old. As the mother of two children in that age range and a former third grade teacher I find that strange. The concept is great but the execution is so-so. First off children aren't as familiar with that technology (blogs are for grown ups.) As people who grew up with technology AND printed books all around them they just aren't worried about the death of the publishing industry. So much of it goes over their heads and then it ends with the word jackass (which is going to offend a number of parents keep it off library shelves etc.) I can't imagine recommending this book to other families with little kids. However I can think of lots of adults and snarky teenagers who would adore it.
