The structure is the same throughout, so I’m just going to go through the first one:īrown lefthand page reading: “Why are you sitting in a box?” The cardboard theme understandably continues in the book’s interior. The weight (11.5 ounces) is clearly marked on the front, while the back notes which side is up. The cover is made of brown-cardboard-feeling paper. The book looks like a box (even though it’s not). ![]() There are a lot of reasons I enjoy this book, the first of which is because of its design. You know how young children will sometimes receive a super amazing fantastic gift and proceed to derive much more enjoyment from the cardboard box the gift came in? Well, according to Antoinette Portis‘ 2006 book Not a Box, young rabbits do that to. ![]()

I also liked that she called her mom out on things that she didn't like. I really liked how she wanted answers and would do what she could to find them. I thought she was a really strong character who was just trying to do the best she could under the circumstances. ![]() And I wasn't a huge fan of how PTSD was treated in this one, which is why it's a 3.5*. I did, however, feel a bit of a lull in the middle of the book that caused me to lose a bit of interest. Even though there were a lot of tropes used in this one, I thought Silver did a good job of making them her own. This one starts off in a way that I usually hate (Girl Bounces From Town To Town Because Mother Is Keeping A Secret) but I thought it really worked here.
