Ginny Goblin Is Not Allowed to Open This Box

Description: Ginny Goblin is not allowed to open an enticing box, but still she persists in this action-packed, laugh-out-loud debut for fans of Jon Klassen and Mo Willems. Full color.

Brief description: David Goodner lives in North Texas. He has an adoring wife and two tolerating cats. He works in a library where he gets to see all the new books before anybody else. When he's not working or writing stories he likes to play role-playing games, make stuff, and read other people's books (mostly science fiction and fantasy, but really if you leave a book out where David can find it, he'll read it).

Review Quotes:

"A funny read-aloud with (mostly) chuckle-inducing illustrations."--Kirkus "Never fear--readers do get to find out what's in the box ("Now I'm really curious about what's inside!" the narrator confesses), but the joy is all in the getting there."--Publishers Weekly "Readers will completely identify with the overly invested narrator.... Hilarious text matches perfectly with the spare yet spot-on illustrations as an adorable and persistent goblin works hard to satisfy her curiosity."--School Library Journal "Curiosity breeds ingenuity in this humorous story about a goblin determined to find out what's inside a deep, round spangly box.
