What to Do with a Box
What to Do with a Box | Jane Yolen
4 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
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.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don‘t know what is better, the story, or the illustrations. Both are fun, magical, and full of imagination. The artist does do well with incorporating his soft style of art with a completely real looking box. The story is a sweet rhyme about all the things a box can be in the hands of imaginative children. A time of a simple love of the creative that is contained within these pages works perfectly for any reader.

This is a RF book by Jane Yolen that captures the essence of imagination as she list all the things you can do with a box! From race car to a library, a box can be anything.

Nice little book that reminds me a little of Roxaboxen but for two kids.
