It's a Book

Ok, so how do you know a book is a book?  I asked my students that question last week and received quite a few "are you crazy" stares, but . . . it took awhile for them to come up with an explanation. Perhaps the problem is that in this day and age reading books in "book" format is becoming a thing of the past. So, watch the trailer for a very interesting little "book".

Here is the trailer to a short video for "It's a Book"   Now go read a book!

In an allegory, many symbols and images are used in an attempt to illustrate universal truths about life.
