BY WILL HILLENBRAND
HARCOURT, PRESCHOOL-GRADE 2

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."

Reviews


Hillenbrand masterfully portrays facial expressions… making it clear to even the youngest of readers what the friends are feeling when the playground rules are broken. —Kirkus Reviews

 

Hillenbrand's artwork features simply shaped, high-spirited animals outlined in black. All the fun they are having is contagious. —Booklist

 

The text is simple enough for beginners since the softly shaded, multimedia color illustrations provide excellent visual clues. The pictures are full of active animals under the watchful tutelage of whistle-wearing Penguin.

—School Library Journal
