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.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing book   April 11, 2008
This is one of the funniest children's books I have ever seen. If you like Mo Willems' "Don't let the Pidgeon Drive the Bus" you will most likely love this book!


5 out of 5 stars Quite a book   March 3, 2008
This book thrilled my son who is almost 3. He totally got it. My 22 month old daughter loves the bunny so it was a win-win. The other book by Portis, Not A Stick, is not quite as good. Part of it is that after reading this one, the novelty wore off.


5 out of 5 stars More Than A Book   February 10, 2008
I teach elementary art and love this book. All grades (K-4) find it amusing and use it as a starting point for a 'not a box' project. They use their imaginations to turn ordinary boxes into wonderful, whimsical people, places and things. It is a light hearted lesson that stresses imagination and creativity.


5 out of 5 stars Imagination unleashed   January 23, 2008
I absolutely loved this book. The illustrations are simple and highly effect for using with children to show them what part is real and what part is imagined. The cardboard surface on the cover was a fabulous touch. This is one of my all-time favorites.


5 out of 5 stars CREATIVE-LY awesome   January 16, 2008
I LOVE this book!!! I would say it is best for ages 3 or 4 and under, but it is SO CUTE.
