 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Summary: **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">This book is about a rabbit and his imagination with a “not a box”. The box is made of cardboard. The rabbit has a box, but it’s not just a box to him. It’s a rocket ship, mountain, a boat. The narrator asks the rabbit what he is doing in the box, on the box, with the box and the rabbits response is always the same,”It’s not a box”.

I read this book during my student teaching and the children loved it. I was in a preschool. This is a great book for preschool children because it gets them thinking and their imagination going. There is a lot of repetition which gets the children involved in the story. The children in my classroom loved this book and we read it over and over.

There is a lot of repetition. The children know what to expect and get involved while being read to.
