In this book the reader is introduced to three characters who are easy to identify with, Mouse, Monkey, and Jacka**. The characters in this book exemplify the character evaluation criteria due to their lovable and identifiable personalities. At the beginning of the story Monkey is reading a book. Jacka** walks in and immediately begins asking Monkey seemingly silly questions about his book. These hilarious questions include things such as if it can text, tweet, or blog. These questions and scenarios are things that many deal with in the media rich world of today, where many fear whether or not our beloved books will disappear forever. By the end Monkey and Mouse are as fed up with Jacka** as Dr. Seuss' memorable characters in Green Eggs and Ham. Readers will laugh out loud at the ending of this book, read it for yourself to find out how Mouse and Monkey set Jacka** straight.
