| Summary: | There are so many types and uses for boxes, it's time to think of as many as we can. In this entertaining book with rhyming text, young children are invited to explore all the different boxes we find in our lives and what they are used for. With a little investigation, boxes are found in so many shapes and have so many uses: from carrying fruit or playing hopscotch, to a house for bees, or a case for a guitar. What constitutes a box? What size is it? What fits inside? What is it used for? Endless amount of discussion will result from this book, and even the titular question will get kids thinking. A perfect book to initiate early-years scientific inquiry in a fun and inventive way and set children on the path to thinking critically, creatively, and reflectively. |
