Sitting in My Box: Giant Edition Book

"Sitting in My Box" is a great book for children. I really enjoyed the text and the illustrations. Jon Agee does a wonderful job depicting the characters. This short, colorful picture book starts with a boy who is sitting alone in a box reading a book about wild animals. You can only guess what happens next. The animals begin to appear one by one and ask if they can get in the box with him. But, as more and more enter, the boy has to stand. He then tells them that one of them has to go. They all refuse. Then, a flea comes along and joins them. After biting all the animals, they leave. The boy is left at the end alone again. I think this would be a great book to show children how books can enlarge their imaginations. And further, they don't have to end at what is in the book. They can take it to a new level. I would highly recommend this book. It would be a great read aloud for preschool through second grade.
