About the author

Justine Avery is the #1 international bestselling and award-winning author of stories large and small, for all. Born in the American Midwest and raised all over the world, she is inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by everything around her and excitedly noting the stories that abound all around. As an avid reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists and surprises she can’t even predict herself.

Avery has either lived in or explored all 50 states of the union, over 36 countries, and all but one continent; she lost count after moving 30-some times before the age of 20. She’s intentionally jumped out of airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba dived unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded automobile frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba, Japan, and masterminded prosperous internet businesses—to name a few adventures. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree that life has never required, and at age 28, she sold everything she owned and quit corporate life—and her final "job"—to freelance and travel the world as she always dreamed of. And she’s never looked back.

Aside from her native English, Avery speaks a bit of Japanese and a bit more Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving mixture of Midwestern American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate British vocabulary and rhythm, and she says "eh"—like the Kiwis, not the Canadians. She currently lives on either side of "the pond" with her husband, acclaimed British film director and author Devon Avery, and other creatures. She writes from wherever her curiosity takes her.

Avery loves to connect with fellow readers and creatives, explorers and imaginers, and cordially invites you to say “hello”—or konnichiwa.

[Théo d'Or]

Dontcha you just hate it when, after spending what feels like an eternity meticulously crafting the perfect email, agonizing over every word choice and punctuation mark to ensure that your message is both professional and personable, you finally muster the courage to hit send, only to realize few seconds later that you have addressed it to the wrong recipient, actually to your banking advisor, sort of an Agatha Christie, who asked your opinion three years ago, intending to start reading books, but didn't know where to start - " Be Your Own Hair Stylist ", " Ten Little Niggers "or Heidegger's " Qu'est-ce que la métaphysique " - a mistake that sends a cold shiver down your spine, as you frantically try to recall the email, all while your computer, in a cruel twist of fate, decides this is the perfect moment to freeze, leaving you to contemplate the depths of your technological despair, as your bloody cat, perched regally on your desk - watch you with a look and a grin which say " Welcome to my world, human ! ", and then, as if the universe itself has conspired against you, your phone starts buzzing incessantly with GR notifications from 2021, each one a reminder of the saying " Better in late than never ", and other sweet nothings that now seem insurmountable in the face of your current crisis, and you can't help but wonder if perhaps you should have just moved in Plato's cave, far away from the relentless demands of modern life, where the only thing you have to worry about is whether to misjudge the reflections of the flames on the cave's walls, thinking of uninvited guests, or dance with them, a thing that - in hindsight - seems infinitely more manageable than the possibility of receiving an innocent answer from the indecisive Agatha.

Annual Goodreads Choice Awards reading project: Read all the Picture Book nominees! (14 of 20)

I'm not a fan of self-help/inspirational books, especially in picture books. This one tackles the tough premise of trying to teach creativity in problem solving by telling people to think outside the box. The main tactic used here in driving the point home is repetition -- saying "think outside the box" over and over and over again -- which is not exactly thinking outside the box as far as communication goes. It also raises a philosophical question: If everyone is thinking outside the box doesn't that just make it a new box in which we are stuck?

I liked how the text and illustrations, which are nice in a collage sort of way, worked together on the page with umbrellas to show some true outside the box thinking, but the rest of the pages seemed more like well-worn advice with on-the-nose pictures.

Each year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books. Think Outside the Box by Justine Avery and illustrated by Liuba Syrotiuk, is book #15 (of 20) of 2020. A puzzle book, or “brain teasers,” which can only be done by actually by buying the book and actually cutting out pages and illustrations.

Hank (14): 5 stars. Fun to do! One of the best books of the year!

Harry (15): 3 stars. Probably a lot of kids would like doing this.

Tara: 4 stars. I really like puzzle books like this, and always have. But you have to own this and cut up the book and write on it to really use it.

Dave: 3 stars. I liked each month getting Scholastic Books brought to my desk by my elementary school teachers. Inevitably, I or my sister would get these kinds of books, and I enjoyed them, and I get the attraction, they help you work on analysis and problem-solving, but really!? One of the top children’s books of the year?! Come on! Even the title is ironic, cliched. But I acknowledge by adding a star that Hank loved this book.

[Rina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting. The book read more like a material for a team building training (like those run by consulting companies for corporate employees) rather than a kid’s picture book.

I really liked the illustrations - the 3D-like ‘textures’ and colours.

[Maurizio Codogno · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Disclaimer: I got this book via LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program]
I am not really sure if this book could be useful to very young children (its target). The illustrations by Liuba Syrotiuk are very nice and colorful, and I am sure that the children would love to see and touch them - my ARC is a pdf file, which is good for review it but not to use it. What I feel lacking from Justine Avery is a way to explain children why (and how...) they can think outside the box. For example, what does it mean "slowing down when everyone else is rushing around"? A more sensible advice could have been "before rushing, stop and think if there is some other way to do one thing". Even the (sound) advice "It's always being proud of your mistakes" is followed by "Because they are just as valuable as every time you get things right", while I would have expected something like "Because next time you will know what not to do". I understand that a child cannot be given hard rules, but there could have been some more guidance.

A delightful easy to read short work encouraging children and adults to be independent thinkers instead of accepting the herd mentality. The short sentences and colorful illustrations will keep the child's attention. This was a free review copy through Goodreads.com.

[Gmr · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's about exploring all the options to life and the things we encounter within it. It's about never settling and taking chances. It's about making changes and finding solutions. It's about trusting yourself to take those leaps even without the proverbial net in order to achieve something formerly thought impossible...and if not, picking yourself back up to try, try again. With a message like that paired with whimsical illustrations meant to be explored, how CAN you go wrong?

This was free on Amazon.

At first, I was worried they weren't going to actually explain what "thinking outside the box" really means - they just kept mentioning to do so. I'm so glad they got around to explaining it. Being that this is a children's book, I'm sure this concept is hard to understand. I felt that this book did a great job explaining what it means to do this. It might still be confusing for some younger children but what can you expect. This book had some really nice illustrations to go with the examples. I personally liked the whale eating the ice cream cone from the bottom to top. Definitely a cute book to explain such a simple concept for how to get around those "blocks" in our heads that we sometimes have.

[Rosh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great moral, great illustrations, great narrative. Every child will like this wonderful book. Though, adults might need it more. After all, children are much better at thinking outside the box and it is adults who force them into conformity.

This is an illustrative book that simply encourages the reader not to think hard at solving a problem, but to open their mind to the many possibilities. There is some very creative and stylistic drawings that can also inspire other artists. I recommend as a children's book or anyone needing open minded guidance.

A WISHING SHELF BOOK REVIEW
9th April 2020

TITLE: Think Outside the Box
AUTHOR: Justine Avery
ILLUSTRATOR: Liuba Syrotiuk

Star Rating: 3

‘A splendidly illustrated picture book with an important message for children.’ A ‘Wishing Shelf’ Book Review

REVIEW
So here we have a very sweetly illustrated book encouraging children to ‘Think Outside the Box’. Now I think this is a fantastic lesson for any child. So, in terms of subject, it’s spot on. Also, the different ways the author suggests children think outside the box is inventive and fun. For example, eating an ice cream cone the wrong way up or trying to run the race the slowest. This is all good fun and, I think, children will find it fun too.
Then there’s the illustrations. Delightful! Also, just like the title of the book, I think the illustrator was thinking outside of the box when she drew them. There’s sort of a surreal feel to them. Children, I suspect, will have fun trying to work them out, relating them back to the text. I simply loved the picture of the snail which has a ‘race’ drawn onto the curls of her shell. So very clever!
But, sadly, there is a problem with this book in terms of readership. I had a look at the Age Level for this book on Amazon. Oddly, it’s for 4 – 12 year olds. And there, I think, is the problem. Although this is a picture book, I very much doubt it would work for very young children. Why? Well, to be honest, it’s a little difficult to follow. Not only that, the words are often way too complex. For example, When there are so many different opinions. When you need to find you own way. Just think outside the box. No 4, 5 or 6 year old that I know will (a) follow this or (b) find it interesting. I did ask my sister to read this book with her two children (a 4 and a 6 year old). Although they liked the ‘crazy drawings’, they couldn’t follow the text. So, let’s go to the other end of the spectrum: 10 – 12 year olds. Well, I showed this book to my 10 year old daughter and, of course, she’s not interested in a picture books. She’s on her chapter books. In fact, she’s halfway through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So no-go there. So the problem with this book is that it hasn’t got a home. A readership. It’s too complex with incorrect vocabulary for very young children and older children want chapter books.
Don’t get me wrong. I think the lesson is important. And the illustrations are, of course, sublime. I just think the author didn’t think ‘readership’ when she wrote it. If she had, she might have thought, this book is for 4 – 6 year olds, so I’m going to replace the word ‘situation’, ‘opinions’, ‘obvious’ and the expression ‘personal view’ with words/expressions 4 – 6 years olds might understand or, indeed, should be learning.

Think outside the box *think outside the box* THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, did you get it yet?

That wasn't just me expressing a weird need to repeat (or a mock) it was me calling attention to my biggest problem with this book: at times if felt like it thought just saying the title over and over again would make it happen. And sure that might seem a bit harsh to remark about a children's book but when your blurb reads “For the artist, the free thinker, the uniquely inventive individual in each of us, Think Outside the Box unlocks the key to applying creativity to daily life and turning any problem or worry inside out. Designed to define out-of-the-box thinking for the youngest of us...” I think it's fair to count it a con. But everyone can make up their own mind and just because that's my critique doesn't by any means result in that I didn't like this book.

I've read quite a few by this author and as always there's a great message and the illustrations are marvelous (for this book I especially I liked the motif, how most of the illustrations are done in a style as if they were made out of cardboard (i.e. parts of a box) though I wonder if that would go over a child's head?). But as nice as the pictures are they are at times also a little lacking (sometimes the illustrations match the text like the line about 'being brave' while showing someone helping someone else over what seems like an endless cave but sometimes they're just pretty, like with the line about 'being creative' while showing a fish and some birds... an artistic fish and very talented birds I guess?) and that is more so a hiccup (or maybe hinderance?) when it comes to the ones that go with the title of this book.

The first illustration of 'think outside the box' I thought rather inadequate (a turtle? and a cat...um what?) while the second actually showed a good example (someone flying in an air balloon over a maze, suggesting that instead of getting lost within getting the answer from above, or so I interpreted), the third and on were excellent though so overall I can't *really* complain just point it out.

So overall as I said I liked this, it's a really cute and good idea executed decently so I rate it four stars (slightly above average) only with the caveat that with the title as it is I think a certain amount of imagination is expected and to my tastes not completely met but for kids I think it's not half bad. To end this I'd like to follow in the books steps and use the last (and my favorite) quote:

“You will never stay stuck or run out of luck if you remember to think outside the box.”

A short illustrative book for children to encourage them to 'think outside the box'.
This is a lovely way to introduce young children to think in a more broader manner. It instills a positive message that there is no wrong way of thinking. There isn't only one way to solve everyday issues and that if you utilise your mind to think differently you will come up with many solutions and various ideas.
This book could motivate a child to think more creatively as it also points on varied strategies and possibilities to be inventive.
The illustrations by Liuba Syrotiuk are beautiful. They are colourful, playfully cute and eye catching for any age reader.
I think this is a wonderful book and very well written by Justine Avery conveying an important life message an a very fun way.

[Theresa · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really am sad to say I was disappointed in the book. Mainly because it was not a great topic for its target age group, nor did it make clear, to the reader, what thinking outside the box meant.

A Skill-Set We All Need!

Is this really a children’s book? I don’t think so. It’s for everyone who has been stifled all of their lives with rules, laws and policies and procedures we’ve all had to follow. Why not break out every now and then and color outside of the lines? Do something and be okay with not getting it just right? Or, deliberately doing something different to “Dare to be Different,” a slogan I grew up with in Catholic elementary school because, Yes! The nuns were different and taught us to accept difference. That’s what this beautifully illustrated (thank you, Liuba!) and carefully crafted book is all about. The illustrations sync perfectly with the text. This book is a beautiful marriage of words and actions.

Be sure to put yourself in someone else’s shoes (think diversity and acceptance of others), eat your ice cream from the bottom up (bring new ideas to the table). The messages are applicable and a stylistic reminder of what we should do in our lives. And, to value our mistakes as well as our successes.

I have read quite a few books by Justine and remember introducing my kids (now 26 and 27) to “Everyone Poops” years ago and really appreciating the idea that it is something we all do and nothing to be ashamed of or not wanting to talk about. It brings things right out in the open and helped me and my kids understand a bodily function that we all do and shows that we are all the same.

“Think Outside the Box” is not just a “cute” book. It has ideas for everyone, young or old. If you creative, it reinforces that; if you’re not, it encourages you to think outside of the box. There’s a message for everyone.

As a college professor, teaching creativity and writing in the creative fields to my students, I am going to share this book as an inspiration for them to apply to their life’s work, along with the other professors teaching creative courses.

You can apply this book to any of life’s challenges and problem solving. This book should be part of everyone’s arsenal!

I wasn't sure what to think of this book just based on the title. What was this going to possible be about? And, while I think it's for children, how is it possible that it will be when it sounds more like something I would read for my job. A type of professional self-help books. Nevertheless I saw down with my 6 YO daughter to read it. Just a couple of pages in and I felt my fears were perhaps coming true, this was no book for a child. I think it's a great concept to teach young children. You can never learn too young to "think outside the box", but it didn't seem the book was off to a good start. I could see my daughter's mind already whirling and thought, "great, how in the world am I now going to teach her what "think outside the box" means". I'm glad however that we kept reading. The book started to pick up and began describing what it meant to "think outside the box" and to provide examples of what that would be like, but these examples were child relatable. It was great. I think still my daughter doesn't quite grasp it entirely, but we were both having fun reading it in a sing-song voice after 5 or so pages in. I believe this is one I can read to her multiple times and the concept will continue to sink in for her. The illustrations were beautiful and like modern art with great colors that were bright yet soothing. I'm glad I won this book and look forward to reading it to my daughter again and again and dare say, I will keep it laying around to share with my grandchildren someday.

This review is an unbiased review of a book I received free of charge from LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I have been putting off writing this review. I have reread the book several times with the same resulting opinions. First, the illustrations are wonderful - colorful and imaginative (thinking outside the box). The text, though, has some problems in my opinion. Literally, the text needs to be bigger and it is hard to read on some pages. I love the idea of the book, trying to get kids to think creatively, but I don't think this idea comes across. Overall, I think the story is confusing and too set on using the phrase "think outside the box" repeatedly. What that means is not really explained well for children, even though it comes closer at the end of the book. To me it was just not appealing. I had my daughter read it for a second opinion. She has written, found illustrations for and put together workbooks for kindergarten through grade five. She, as did I , thought the writing was choppy and that it was a good idea done poorly. I feel odd being so critical of this book as I know the author is a celebrated writer and I am familiar with some of her other work. I just didn't like this, though. Two stars for the illustrations.

[Tony Parsons · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you have a problem, a puzzle, or a sticky situation to solve just think Outside the Box.

If there are different rules, others have different opinions, you’re trying to find a solution, what should you do?

I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.

An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (elementary; MS age) thinking outside the Box storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational presentation, movie (thinking outside the Box), an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

Thinking outside the box might be called a talent or a skill. The ability to view something from multiple angles and viewpoints is often missing in the conversations we have today that are often shaped by social media or the opinions of those with whom one wishes to curry favor.

The illustrations are abstract, yet simple and creative. They help convey the message to younger readers. Older children will better be able to grasp the deeper meaning and importance of not looking at things with a preconceived notion or prejudicial opinion.

I believe teachers might benefit by reading the book aloud and using it as a way to discuss the various ways of sorting out solutions to difficult problems. Future artists, engineers, writers, and historians will all benefit from the critical thinking skills the book seeks to promote.

I received a digital copy of this book from LibraryThing as an Early Reviewer (sorry, it got lost for a while, so this is definitely not an early review!)

It was cute and to the point, explaining to young children how to think creatively. I wonder what age group would be appropriate for this - probably not a book that a child would read by him/herself, but one which would be read to the child by a parent or adult. It was light hearted and mildly inspirational; the illustrations were colorful - although perhaps my digital version made the colors a little washed out.

As a picture book, it was fun; whether it really makes kids think outside the box is an unanswered question. If my kids or grandkids were in the 4-6 year old range, I would read it to them and I think that they would enjoy it.

[Cath Ennis · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was not what I expected based on the book's description in the Giveaway I entered. I thought there would be some concrete examples of thinking outside the box, and maybe some puzzles and exercises for kids, but it's really just an extended list of vague concepts like "slow down" and "see the details that no-one else sees". Some of these are better than others, e.g. be proud of your mistakes or try something you've never done before, but overall I wasn't impressed. I'd intended to give this to my niblings (aged 3, 5, and 8), but I suspect they'll scoff at things like "trying to run a race the slowest" and "eating an ice cream cone from the bottom up". I'll give it to their parents instead and let them decide. If the kids end up loving it, I'll come back and upgrade my rating!

[Lori Sinsel Harris · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received this book a couple of weeks ago, but waited for my 4year old grandson to "make time" to read it with me! We finally did last night. I enjoyed it and I believe he did too. The illustrations are wonderful and it is well written, but I kind of got the impression from my grandson that he really didn't understand the subject matter. Although a overall good book, I believe the subject is a little too abstract for children as young as 3 or 4. Great concepts, I believe everyone should challenge themselves to "think outside the box" just I think that's a little advanced for young toddlers to grasp. Thanks to the authors and to Goodreads for giving me this book. It was a giveaway win. Thank you.

[Chris Wells · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a lovely book with a message for children to be positive and try to think of their own ways of problem solving. Sometimes the established way might not be the best. Sometimes a new way might be YOUR way. This is all conveyed with simple sentences and the repeating of that positive message: Think Outside The Box. Working with this simple but helpful message are the wonderful illustrations that themselves are different and original. Thinking Outside The Box in action. I personally found this book a helpful way to explain to my children that you can always try your own way, think for yourself, and that it is fine to do so.

[Sylvia · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a retired Literacy tutor I can see a lot of good in this book for young school aged kids.
Even the adults who read it to them will take something away. For very young children the colourful and beautiful illustrations will bring them back to the book but the concepts are a bit deep for the very young. This book makes one think as it reiterates "outside the box" and what that may actually mean to each of us. Repetition is a solid learning tool for youngsters, but I would like to see a bit more instructional guidance as to real life steps they could try as they are trying to "think outside the box".

[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book twice today and I am still thinking about it, as I am not sure that I personally could see all children 'getting it'; however I know at least two of our eleven grandchildren would really get the concept.

I loved the page with the umbrellas - it was a brilliant illustration to get the point across, as well as the pages illustrating looking at things from upside down - there were other pages that I felt the illustrations didn't show the concept as well as it should or could, e.g. the bicycle page.

Overall, an interesting book and something to make all ages think a bit more than we often do, and especially now during a pandemic.

[Ruth · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was disappointed in this book. I thought that concrete examples would be given with each way that was presented as a way to look at things differently. With those additions I think it could be used as an instructional tools for students.

I should note that I received this book as a giveaway. At first it said it the format was not compatible with my Kindle. I tried using the app on my tablet which was what I read. Reviewers mentioned puzzles and brainteasers. The version that appeared via my Kindle app on the tablet had none of those. If I had access to that I would have felt very differently about the book.

I received this book from a giveaway and I was so thrilled. This book is a fantastic vehicle for introducing or enforcing creative problem solving skills. The author writes about various strategies in which one could think outside the box. There is also a growth mindset theme at the end where the author addresses having courage to attempt ideas and making mistakes are part of learning. I thought that was a great way to round out the book.

[Chloe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book offers the perfect way to stimulate imagination and inspire free-thinking and creativity in children. It prompts them to apply their creative thinking in order to solve problems, which is perfectly conveyed in the book’s title. The illustrations are colorful and stylistic, which goes perfectly with the content. Reading it to my daughter even inspired me a little! It takes readers on a very thought-provoking journey that teaches to adopt new perspectives to overcome challenges.

Short and powerfull

"you will never stay stuck or run out of luck if you remember to think outside the box" very powerful words. The book is short but it's words are more powerful and makes sense word by word. It can change many lives and it empowers people and motivates them to think outside the box and be creative .not to do what normal people do normal things but to embrace creativity
