Not a Box

by Antoinette Portis

A box is just a box... unless it's not a box. From mountain to rocket ship, a small rabbit shows that a box will go as far as the imagination allows.

Inspired by a memory of sitting in a box on her driveway with her sister, Antoinette Portis captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real — when the imagination takes over and inside a cardboard box, a child is transported to a new world where anything is possible.

Dedicated to children everywhere sitting in cardboard boxes.

Buku #3 yang dibaca di Phoenix Public Library.

Buku aktivitas anak-anak yang juga menyenangkan. Bercerita tentang si "kelinci" dan imajinasi liarnya pada sebuah boks.

it's not a box. it's the power of imagination. hehehe... ngingetin sama episode Idiot Box di Spongebob. SpongeBob sama Patrick berimajinasi dengan kardus bekas tv-nya Squidward, sama kayak si little bunny di buku ini. kardus itu bisa jadi apa pun yang bisa dibayangkan. you just need to unleash your creative thinking.

Kisah imaginasi si arnab dan kotak mainannya. Anak-anak kecil kita pun begini agaknya :)
