Loading... Roxaboxen (1991)by Alice McLerran
![]()
No current Talk conversations about this book. In college now but I read this as a child and thought of it the other day when walking around my old elementary school. I can still remember trying to make my own Roxaboxen with my friends at the playground. Like the kids in the story, I won't forget about Roxaboxen and plan on sharing the story with my own children someday. I miss these "imagination" days as a kid. I like the book for the nostalgia it causes. Much like The Egypt Game, but written for a younger audience, this is a kid's picture book that harkens back to a time when kids used their imaginations to play games, rather than a computer program and game player. Decent illustrations. I did not love this book as much as my GR friends, Brigid and Nenia. NA It was about a bunch of kids who came up with their own town, and called it Roxaboxen. I️ loved it, it was a great incorporation into my storybox. no reviews | add a review
