Joey and the Giant Box

32 pp. | Kar-Ben | May, 2015 | Library ISBN 978-1-4677-1953-7 $17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Byrne. Joey uses an oversize cardboard box for pretend play. But the box is too big for his room, so Joey brings it to school and organizes a food drive. Though the cartoon illustrations lack intimacy and personality, Joey is an appealing character and the message to encourage imagination and charitable acts is admirable (if thinly veiled).
