NOT A BOX NOT A BOX
written/illus. by Antoinette Portis, (HarperCollins, $12.99, ISBN 978-0-06-112322-1), 32p, Ages 2+.
Pretending is a lot of fun, especially for a young rabbit with only a box for company. Through a series of questions and answers, the rabbit is asked why he is sitting in, standing on, spraying, and wearing a box. He answers, "It's not a Box!" Instead, he pretends it's a racecar, a mountain, a burning building, and a robot. Simple line drawings and repetition of words is also perfect for preschoolers who are learning word recognition.
