An idea as smart as a box of books

An idea as smart as a box of books
We joke a lot about how our kids sometimes would rather play with the box a present comes in than the actual present. The thing is... it's not always a joke. And one company has taken that idea  on, big time. Blue Manatee Boxes are amazing to their book-filled cores. At the site, you choose from about a dozen book themes for preschoolers and early readers, like BirthdayBox, BoyntonBox or EcoBox. Pick a size from 3-9 books, and fill the box with the books of your choice.
But there's more. Just as much thought has gone into the non-book parts of this magic box. It's packed with biodegradable, organic cornstarch packing peanuts that your kids can fuse together with a sponge (included!) and cool ideas for using the box when they're done, plus a crayon to help them decorate it.
No bells no whistles--just great books and a big box ready for gift-giving. Your kids will add the imagination. -Lexi
Pick out some books for your kid's Blue Manatee Box and let the fun begin!

Her newest book, Princess in Black and the Trick or Treating Trouble, comes out just in time for Halloween. We talked with her about it as part of our Q&A author series and asked about a few of her favorite things too.
