Harry's Box by Angela McAllister (Bloomsbury Paperbacks, 5.99) is a charming picture book telling the story of Harry's wonderful adventures with his dog Woolfie as companion and only an old cardboard box as inspiration. As Harry moves the box from room to room, the box transforms into a shop, a lion's den, a pirate ship, a sandy cave and a castle. Use the story to help the children in your setting to discover exciting possibilities for imaginative play with the simplest of resources.
