3 ⭐ This is a book that has not aged well. Wendy lives in Boxville and everybody must wear their labeled box every day. Wendy‘s issue is that she can‘t pick a box. She doesn‘t want to be just one thing she wants to be different things at different times. One day she decides just not to wear her box. It does get her in trouble in town, but eventually, her family is like hey maybe that‘s an OK idea. I think what makes this weird is the end

LibrarianRyan when the family pack up and move to Freedom land. Instead of the idea that you can be more than one thing spreading across their community. I guess what happens in real life, but it seems weird the way it‘s written in a children‘s spot. I do like the illustrations. They feel right out of the 70s but go well with the idea of Fran Dresser, and who you know her to be in her acting and public life. While this book was an interesting read. It is not
6d
LibrarianRyan one that I would share with others as it feels the 15 years old that it is.
