## Description

Don't miss this wholly original celebration of the power of imagination, winner of a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award. This picture book with its visual humor and simple dialogue is great for fans of Mo Willems and Crockett Johnson. A box is just a box...unless it's not a box. From mountain to rocket ship, a small rabbit shows that a box will go as far as the imagination allows. This board book edition has sturdy pages and is a good size for the youngest readers. Inspired by a memory of sitting in a box on her driveway with her sister, Antoinette Portis captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real —when the imagination takes over inside a cardboard box, and through play, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible. After reading this book aloud, continue the fun by drawing shapes like a triangle or circle, and asking your child what the triangle is NOT!

Review: Good - Preschool classroom loved the book and activities with boxes
Review: True gem of a book and perfect for teaching - I teach pre-k and preschool with a few 2 and 5 year olds mixed in. They love this book. As a teacher and adult, I also love it. Its imaginative, creative, and funny. It's nice and short in terms of word and page count, but you can easily turn one reading of it into a whole day's (probably week's) worth of lessons and activities. It worked especially well as an introduction to lessons and activities that involve boxes (of which there are SO MANY). There are also easy ways to turn it into a fun guessing game and to turn it into many other possible interactive reading experiences. I think it's also the kind of book that helps grown-ups see things from kids' perspectives. I would highly, highly recommend this book.
