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.

the perfect children's book? October 6, 2008
NOT A BOX
by Antoinette Portis
Parents often joke about how little kids think that "the box is more fun than the toy"... and this book explains why kids are right! Where others see a box, the imaginative little bunny sees a fire engine, a house or a boat! That's not a box, it is whatever you want it to be. Less is certainly more here, and I think most parents can appreciate the message about the power of creativity. This is such a great book! Highly Recommended!
Not A Box- Instant classic September 29, 2008
This book is so amazingly simple...and I think that is the beauty of it. I found this accidentally at the library, brought it home and my 3 year old fell in love with it. He loves to read books, but I find that anything overly illustrated and long does not seem to hold his attention very long. This is the first book that he picked up and "read" by himself and then to me. He gets up in the morning and picks it up again. An instant classic!!! Bravo Antoinette!!
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!
