The Reading Railroad: NOT A BOX
http://jbertog.blogspot.com/2010/11/not-box.html
Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Title: Not A Box. Summary: A small bunny proves that there is no limit when it comes to imagination. The story shows that a simple box can be anything from a race car to a rocket ship. I remember growing up, my next door neighbor and I built a box fort that was quite the envy to the rest of the cul-de-sac.
