What to Do with a Box by Jane Yolen; Chris Sheban (Illustrator)
Call Number: Pre school -1
ISBN: 1568463200
Publication Date: 2018-04-10
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 and rhythmically celebrated in this poetic tribute. This board book edition of the popular 2016 picture book of the same name takes the literal shape of a box to bring an imaginative concept to life.
