Great inspiration for play. Especially useful to have a large box (or a few) to play with afterwards! ( )

This book is about a box. The story is told about all the things a box can be/ be used for; a library, a nook, a palace, a place for your imagination to run free. I like this book because it shows kids that we can do so many things with a box, that we might not have seen at first. I would use this paired with part of the Kade’s Carnival videos to teach kids about upcycling/ recycling. Kids can learn that the sky is the limit and that we can be creative with things in so many different ways. Then I would give them all a box and some supplies and ask them to create something with their box and we would look at what different things everyone decided to create. ( )

I don’t know what is better, the story, or the illustrations. Both are fun, magical, and full of imagination. The artist does do well with incorporating his soft style of art with a compleastly real looking box. The boxes even contain lifelike shipping and sorting labels. The story is a sweet rhyme about all the things a box can be in the hands of imaginative children. A time of a simple love of the creative that is contained within these pages works perfectly for any reader.

Picked this book up for my nephew that likes boxes. It's a board book that opens in various directions and can ultimately shape a box. I'm still unsure just what order to read the "pages" in, but it doesn't seem to do much harm to the narrative about what fun things you can do with a box. The pages and illustrations are decorated with standard box shipping labels and writing so the boards themselves also resemble the sides of a box. ( )

This book is a great way to introduce students to poetry. This book discusses all the things that imagination can help you with, and all the possibilities that it brings, even with just a box. I would love to bring this book out on a day that my students can't go outside because it is raining, ( )
