Reviews

[Nicole]

This is one of my favorite ever children's books. I don't think it's in print anymore; that is, when I looked it up on Amazon, they don't have a picture of the cover and it can only be purchased used from third-party sellers. But the book is absolutely delightful, and I like the illustrations.

A story of a bored girl and her firend who use their imagination and a box to exploire distant lands

[Hannah Sheffield]

I think this would be a great book to read to a primary class. Students could write their own stories about what they would do with a box after reading the book.
