Overview

Dedicated to simple yet developmentally stimulating icons and experiences of childhood, this series encourages children to have fun discovering the world through the real world rather than through screen-based media. No matter the gift, boxes are what kids want to play with. This book celebrates the endless possibilities of playing with boxes and is sure to inspire the next generation of architects, artists, scientists, and reduce-reuse-recyclers.

Reviews

“Both boys and girls will get a kick out of the visual impact of Box, a paean to the wonders of the boxes in which gifts are packed. . . . These are clever uses of boxes, and the whole concept of the book is clever as well: it is part of a series intended to provide real-experience-based ideas to counterbalance all the electronics and other technology in so many families’ everyday lives.”  —InfoDad.com
