From Publishers Weekly:
Peter H. Reynolds is the bestselling author and illustrator of The Dot and Ish. He is also the illustrator of Olivia Kidney by Ellen Potter and the bestselling Judy Moody series. He lives in Dedham, Massachusetts.
Watching his tousled-haired son navigate a typical day, a father wistfully reflects on boyhood's pleasures—especially the endless possibilities presented by a big cardboard box. McGhee (previously paired with Reynolds for Someday) uses William Carlos Williams's The Red Wheelbarrow as a jumping-off point for the hand-lettered text: Little boy, so much depends on.../ your starship pajamas,/ that story about llamas,/ the way you don't worry,/ the way you won't hurry,/ and... your big cardboard box. Keeping props to a minimum in his watercolor-and-ink vignettes, Reynolds portrays the young hero at full kid throttle. Confident, independent and inexhaustible, the boy turns the cardboard box into a pirate ship, a stepladder, a spaceman's costume and a crash pad. In short, he's the very definition of Everyboy—if the computer or TV set had never been invented. Those absences suggest that the book's appeal is a nostalgic one—and that the most appreciative audience may be former boys like Dad himself. All ages. (Apr.)
