Review

Two boys, Birt and Etho, are best friends, they play outside in cardboard boxes with their two-by-two rhythm and pretend. Then one day, another boy, Shu, brings a box and wants to join them. One says "sure", the other feels strange. Will they find a way for the two friends to become three? It takes time, a little bit of willingness, but, at last, they do. Beautiful illustrations that go very well with text. A satisfying book about the power of imagination and friendship. Good for children who have a hard time with change and new situations.

Overall Book Score: very good
