The Big Brown Box

32 pp. | Greenwillow | May, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-688-17096-X $$15.95
(4) K-3 Like all kids, Sam thinks the box the new washing machine came in makes the perfect play space, whether as a house, a cave, or a boat. Unfortunately for Sam, baby Ben wants to play, too. Finally Mom gives Ben his own box and the brothers play side by side. While the story lacks drama, the colorful gouache paintings show how the siblings express their feelings as they get into--and out of--the conflict.
