Description:
A young reader graphic novel about Beatrix and her best friend Box, a sentient cardboard container, as they take on their first camping trip.
Best friends Bea and Box are planning the biggest adventure they can imagine--an overnight camp out to visit the biggest redwood tree in the world. While Bea starts packing and is beaming with excitement, Box is afraid to admit how he's really feeling--scared silly of the woods! Big trees are one thing, but big bears and big danger and even BIGFOOT might also be lurking in the wilderness. If they don't want to miss out on the adventure of a lifetime, Bea knows that she'll have to help her friend Box face his fears, pack his gear, and brave the wild!Brief description: James Burks has spent his life eating, breathing, and drawing.

Review Quotes:
Box Tales: Grow, Strawberries, Grow:
"Fun, expressive, informative, and imaginative! I want a box full of these books! I wish I could unbox a new James Burks book every day! My kiddos and I have loved reading the Bird and Squirrel series. We're all super excited to have a new series by James Burks to unbox!" -- Ben Clanton, New York Times bestselling author of the Narwhal and Jelly. Box Tales: Brave the Wild: "The series' recurrent theme of trying new things with humor and intention is perfectly realized here, and Burk's affable, bright cartooning deftly takes the duo on a field trip well beyond Bea's backyard." --Kirkus
