About the Book
"Jane Yolen poetically reminds young readers that a simple box can be a child's most imaginative plaything as artist Chris Sheban illustrates its myriad and magical uses"--Book Synopsis
If you give a child a box, who can tell what will happen next? It may become a library or a boat. It could set the scene for a fairy tale or a wild expedition. The most wonderful thing is its seemingly endless capacity for magical adventure, a feature imaginatively captured in cardboardesque art by Chris Sheban and rhythmically celebrated in this poetic tribute by renowned children's author Jane Yolen.Review Quotes
"Charmingly captures both real life and imaginary adventures." - Booklist, Starred Review
"Intuitive, inspired executions of art and verse perfectly capture the unending fun of time spent inside a box." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
