This Is Still Not a Book - (Board Book)

About the Book

"Is this a suitcase? A bed? An elephant? Each spread in this engaging board book is actually something else entirely, sparking imaginations and encouraging the storytellers in readers of all ages. Turn the page and find a foldable shirt; then, turn to discover a flip phone that you can open, close, and "dial" to call your friends and family! The result prompts children to think creatively about -- and play creatively with -- other objects in their daily lives."--Publisher's description.
