Poor Little Book is a story-poem about a little book that is sad and blue because he has been left on the shelf. The modern world is full of gadgets since the radio waves were discovered to serve for more than one purpose, leaving poor little book aside and full of dust. Nowadays children play with tablets, smart-phones, and TV games as well as reading ebooks, which take the place of normal books. Poor Little Book has the mission to recruit the readers and make them aware of their importance. A book has to be felt with all the senses, not just with a virtual reality screen. Our eye-sight sense is losing capacity to focus properly due to training the eye to watch screens all day, every day for many years. This is very harmful for youngsters. A child forms his concepts from when he comes into this world, forming cognitive knowledge through what he perceives since he is a baby. If he includes too many screen images from before he can read, he will have a distorted sense of real natural world leading towards distorted physics. This will influence his learning capacity at school and for the rest of his life, not mentioning problems with his eyesight. There is a magic fusion between the reader and the book that cannot be compared to any other experience, from the words to the soul s interpretation. This is when the book comes to life! Can a movie or a video do this? No it is already: cooked, eaten & digested for you ....it doesn t come alive !! It leaves no room for imagination, (just what the director wants to tell us). Another important fact is that books last for hundreds & thousands of years; How old is the oldest book known? Have you ever heard of a PC a hundred years old?
