Big box little box by Caryl Hart and Edward Underwood
Bloomsbury, 2017. ISBN 9781408872772
'Big box, little box...
My box, YOUR box!'
Cat loves boxes - all sorts of boxes - big, small, fat, thin, huge
tiny... and in this romp in rhyme so many boxes are explored. But it
is not just a collection of rhyming words or opposites, there is a
story told in the clever choice of words and their accompanying
pictures that early readers will be able to tell for themselves,
delighting in their ability to read.
This is a great story to share with little ones because there is so
much to share and talk about. If a fat cat sits on a little box,
what will be the outcome? And if a box has a corner nibbled out of
it, what might be inside?
And given the obvious answer, is this story about to end badly? Two
word phrases, rhyme, bold pictures, humour, predictability that
engages the reader - a perfect combination to take our youngest
readers further into their love with reading.
