Did you ever hear of a fairy tale that started at the end? That's what this book does! The story begins, "And they all lived happily ever after." That's the end, right? What happens before that? Well, that's the secret of this delightful book--it starts at the end and goes backward to the beginning. Children and grownups will both enjoy this wonderful tale of a curly-bearded knight, a clever princess, a tantrum- throwing giant, and a big bowl of lemonade.

Book cover Not a Box
Antoinette Portis (2006) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Antoinette Portis
Audience: Toddlers, Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Adventure, Fantasy, Humor
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Bunny has found a box. Only to bunny, it’s not a box. It can be anything he chooses it to be. The box can be a race car, a rocket ship or even a robot. Just don't call it a box. Imaginative, funny and universally true, this work recreates the sense of wonder a child can have with only their imagination and a simple cardboard box.
