Benji Davies.
Best friends Birt and Etho revel in playing with big empty boxes, but Birt unhappily abandons the game after a third boy, Shu, disturbs their "two-by-two rhythm." After Etho and Shu lure Birt back with a wonderful box creation, they share a satisfying three-way "Etho-Shu-Birt-iness." Rich language and expressive artwork depict the joy of imaginative play and the ups and downs of friendship.
