Reviews
"Boxes' forms and uses inspire Ziefert's up-tempo rhymes, which celebrate the box's amorphous ubiquity in this playful conceptual picture book. Humorous descriptions mingle with standard observations and slyly pointed phrases adding a contemporary stylishness to the lines, Galí's illustrations combine photos with simple calligraphic sketches, featuring casually repeating figures including an electric pink bear. Categorizations eventually take on a wondering tone leading up to the titular query. It's an investigation of the cubic for readers of all ages ."- Publishers Weekly -- Publishers Weekly, An intriguing title sparks a host of connections and associations .. . Ziefert's book evokes Mary Ann Hoberman and Betty Fraser's classic A House Is a House for Me . Halfway through, the text switches from assertions to interrogatives (the preferred sentence form for many Ziefert books). . . the author offers plenty of food for thought; young dreamers will have plenty to mull. The inventive book art combines photo elements with neon color and a lively black linework that changes in thickness for pleasing variety. A bright pink bear with an elongated snout and tiny toes appears in several illustrations; the few human figures are amusingly cartoonish and vary in skin tone. Eye-catching inspiration to encourage out-of-the-box thinking. (Picture book. 5-8) -- Kirkus Reviews, An intriguing title sparks a host of connections and associations .. .
