“This is more about presenting lots of little silly rhyming scenarios experienced by the two children on their imaginary journey rather than being a story which is fine!), and the illustrations are cute and there are lots of fun little details to spot as you go through.”

“Great book to talk about imagination. :) While less of a story, this book is has a lot of creatures and content to point out and talk through as you read along through the fun rhymes. I love the illustrations and love the premise that everything started with a cardboard box!”
