Not a Box by Antoinette Portis
CATCH NOT A BOX ON APPLE TV+!
A 2026 Phoenix Picture Book Award Winner!
Don't miss this wholly original celebration of the power of imagination, winner of a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award. This picture book with its visual humor and simple dialogue is great for fans of Mo Willems and Crockett Johnson--and it's a thoughtful graduation gift for creative people of all ages.
A box is just a box...unless it's not a box. From mountain to rocket ship, a small rabbit shows that a box will go as far as the imagination allows.
Inspired by a memory of sitting in a box on her driveway with her sister, Antoinette Portis captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real--when the imagination takes over inside a cardboard box, and through play, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible.
After reading this book aloud, continue the fun by drawing shapes like a triangle or circle, and asking your child what the triangle is NOT!
Antoinette Portis is a former creative director of Disney Consumer Products and a UCLA School of Fine Arts graduate. Froodle, Greatest Frints in the Entire World, and Wait are just a few of her many children's novels. She resides in the California town of Studio City.
