Item Details

At a glance
A cardboard box becomes a city, but the real material is collaboration. Not-A-Box City treats children as makers with ideas worth contributing, showing how an ordinary discarded object can become something larger through imagination, negotiation, and many hands.
Summary

CATCH NOT A BOX ON APPLE TV+!

Don't miss the long-awaited companion to Not a Box, 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.

Bunny wants to build a cardboard city.

Bunny stacks one cardboard box on top of another and another.

Bunny doesn't want any help. Bunny doesn't need any help, either.

But what's a cardboard city without friends?

Written and illustrated with the same delightful simplicity that made Not a Box such a hit, the playtime possibilities of a stack of boxes and friendship will inspire and excite any child who has ever journeyed into the world of make-believe.
