A Box Can Be Many Things

Written by Dana Meachen Rau and Illustrated by Paige Billin-Frye

After her mother tosses out a large box of junk, a girl and her younger brother pull it out. They pretend it is a cave, car, house, and cage. And even when it lies in pieces on the ground, their imaginations lead them to even more inventive uses for the box.
