Bookroo's summary

A young boy and his dog transform giant boxes into thrilling adventures—a train, a race car, a plane. But their fun leaves a trail of litter. Blaming the wind, the boy watches his elderly neighbor clean up. Guilt tugs at him, prompting a choice between truth and deceit. Can honesty mend the mess and forge a new friendship? Discover how a simple act of truth leads to forgiveness, camaraderie, and a sweet reward.

From the publisher

Wow! A boy finds some humongous boxes outside. He and his dog use them to make a train that goes far, far, far; a race car that goes fast, fast, fast; and a plane that goes up, up, up. Litter is everywhere, and the boy blames the wind. But as he watches his elderly neighbor clean up his mess, the boy knows what he must do. Truth triumphs and the boy’s honesty is rewarded with forgiveness, friendship, and cookies. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level E.
