What can you do with a box?



Enjoy books having to do with boxes :-)!

A Mighty Fine Time Machine – Suzanne Bloom
An aardvark, an anteater, and an armadillo attempt to travel back in time when they turn a big box into a time machine.

Thank you, Bear – Greg Foley
Despite being criticized by others, Bear knows he has found the perfect gift for Mouse.

Roxaboxen – Alice McLerran
A hill covered with wooden boxes becomes an imaginary town for Marian and her friends.

My Book Box – Will Hillenbrand
A determined elephant creates his own book box and discovers all the magic and fun of books and reading. Decorate your own book box with stickers and wrapping paper.

Harry’s Box – Angela McAllister

Boxy fun – use leftover gift boxes or larger boxes to play in, decorate, and hide surprises in.
