Ok, this is a box. But this picture made me think of a great children's book that we learned about recently at story time at the library. It's called Not a Box by Antoinette Portis.
It's about the importance of good old fashioned imagination and simple creativity. The bunny appears to be just sitting in a box, but to him it is a race car. And when he is standing on the box, he is really climbing a mountain. I can't wait to see what Jane comes up with when she is older. I do miss that about teaching art, especially to the fifth graders (my youngest students). They have the best imaginations!
