I appreciate Alyson's commentary on "It's a Book" by Lane Smith, and Maryann's overview of some of the books that playfully raise awareness of and encourage reflection on our very idea of what a book is.
I'll add HervŠ¹ Tullet's "Press Here" to that list of books that gleefully play with the idea of the "book" as interactive object in a high-tech world.
A number of times I have promoted both "It's a Book" and "Press Here" as titles for middle school--and even high school--students in tech classes or any class in which they are examining the impact of technology on society. In their own way, I think they can complement some of the terrific young adult novels, like M.T. Anderson's "Feed," Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother," or Rae Mariz's "The Unidentified."
