Remember books? Oh, right, we still have them. So no need for nostalgia—at least not yet. But when one slightly superior donkey and a very patient gorilla start comparing their different media, something curious happens. This book quietly celebrates the joys of reading. With spare text and an unchanging background (or they in an airport? A doctor’s office? Someone’s apartment living room?), the donkey’s unending questions about the gorilla’s odd possession meet with an unchanging answer. It could have been boring. But brevity is the soul of wit. So what seems repetitive instead presents a sly message. This doesn’t need to have all the bells and whistles. It doesn’t need to be hip, cool, flashy or trendy. No matter what else changes, it remains…a book.
