Product Description

What can you do with a box? You can make a bug box or a hatbox or a hide-and-seek box. But just imagine all the fun and adventure you can have with a book box. You can explore the world and beyond! That's just what a creative little elephant discovers. And with the help of his frog friend, there’s no limit to where they can go.
           
Popular author-illustrator Will Hillenbrand has created an ingenious tale about the wonderful world a child enters within the pages of a book in this unique celebration of reading and the power of books.
          
Includes instructions for making a book box.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–A little elephant wonders what he can do with a plain cardboard box. He comes up with all sorts of ideas, transforming the object into a hat, a container for toys, and a hide-and-seek haven. Finally, he decides to make a book box, and the rest of the story provides insight into the limitless possibilities of such a creation. Single- and double-page paintings show the elephant and his small frog friend enjoying the contents of the book box from breakfast to the bathroom to bedtime. The soft illustrations, done in egg tempera, oil pastels, and ink, lend occasional humor to the simple, quiet text. The last page provides instructions for making a book box. An additional purchase.–Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA

My daughter loves it!5
I bought this book for my daughter when we found out Will Hillenbrand was coming to visit her school. She read it twice before she took it to school, and I catch her reading it quite often. This is one of her favorites, even more so after Will signed it for her. She has even made her own book box!
