A box, a friendship, and many possibilities

Snake and Bat’s discovery begins with an intriguing question: what can a box be? Their exploration considers its different possible uses, while one important detail complicates the fun: the box belongs to someone else. The story places this small puzzle within the pair’s supportive friendship, where they help one another through mistakes and plans. As part of an early-reader series, the book also connects its simple premise with beginning-reading and early-learning aims.
