Some stories teach us lessons. Others invite us to dream. But few capture the magic of learning, laughter, and love quite like Box, the latest release by Laura Willoughby, author of Tractors and 21 Socks.
In this charming new picture book, Laura turns the simplest of childhood objects, a cardboard box, into a gateway of wonder. The story follows three brothers whose day of play becomes an adventure in creativity. What begins as one box quickly grows into bridges, caves, and castles as imagination takes flight. With every turn of the page, numbers build from one to ten, guiding young readers through a rhythmic, playful counting journey.
Each scene bursts with warm, comforting illustrations, capturing the innocence of discovery and the joy of togetherness. The repetitive, easy-to-follow language helps early learners develop confidence, while the gentle rhythm encourages participation, perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or in classrooms.
