Product Description
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. 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 and inside a cardboard box, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible.

A child's imagination August 21, 2008
As a children's book author it's always a daunting task to think like a child. 'Not a Box' is a take on the children's imagination. I think just about everyone played with boxes as a child. The pure imaginations could turn a simple box into anything they want it to be. I smiled reading this book reminiscing that there was a time when a box was not just a box. I remember when I was young; our family bought a new refrigerator that came in a gigantic box. That box was the greatest thing ever. It's also sad that as the life becomes complex a simple box becomes nothing more than a box.
If you want your kid(s) to engage, buy this book! June 4, 2008
It's hard to add anything else to these reviews, but let me just say that my daughter absolutely loved this book and reads it over and over and over again. She loves shouting, "It's not a box!" and calling out what it really is.
Passes the kid test May 21, 2008
I bought four books for my four granddaughters, and reports are that this one is their favorite, even though the others are fine and one is a major prizewinner.
These are little girls aged 3-4 years. I think that a good kid-rating is worth a lot, so wanted to pass it on!
Best book! May 18, 2008
This is a fantastic book. My son loves it when we make sound effects and wants to read it over and over. I'm hoping it'll help teach him to play pretend. A must have.

I loved this book. I read it to four and five year-olds. Then let them play with a big box from a dishwasher. They play with that box all the time. A great way to jump start the imagination.
