I love also how Bunny never describes what it is he’s imagining. Bunny and the box are always in black while the imaginary items are drawn in red. The illustrations are white pages with only red and black lines. ![]() Bunny compromises in calling it a Not-a-Box. ![]() At the end, the reader wonders what he/she should call the rectangular object that Bunny is playing with. The reader keeps asking what Bunny is doing with the box and Bunny keeps responding as previously stated. His variations of “This is not a box!”are directed at the reader who seems to take on the role of an inquiring parent. We are huge box fans and so the bunny from Not a Box was preaching to the choir in this fabulously simple but fantastic story.īunny, the main character, basically repeats himself throughout the book. There’s something almost magical in the way that they can reach into to the realm of imagination and provide the bridge sometimes necessary for little ones to cross into that magical realm. ![]() ![]() Synopsis: A box is hardly a box, when an imagination is involved.Ĭardboard boxes always hold an incredible amount of play ideas but big cardboard boxes seem to multiple those exponentially. ![]()
