It's a Book

Smith, Lane. (2011). It’s a Book. New York: Roaring Brook.

The story illustrates a monkey sitting on a red chair reading a book.  From texting to blogging to needing a password, the book is questioned throughout the story by a jackass. He cannot understand or get the concept that it is just a simple book to read. So Jackass grabs the book from the monkey and starts to read. He finds it to be interesting and continues reading the book.  Monkey ask Jackass if he is going to return his book but he just continues reading.  Since Jackass does not give him the book back, Monkey decides to go to the library.  

This is a great example of showing students of peacefullly resolving conflict by going to get another book.
