About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Marisabina Russo's warm, distinctive picture books usually mirror everyday scenarios from her own family's life. The Big Brown Box was inspired by her three children's tendency to entertain themselves—and each other—with common household objects (which included many a cardboard box).
Ms. Russo has written and illustrated many picture books for children, and has illustrated several by other authors. She and her husband and children live in Westchester County, New York.
PreSchool-K. In this short, unimaginative book, the young protagonist explains why, "Under the table is a good place to be." Unfortunately, she forgets the rule "you're not supposed to write on the furniture" until her artwork completely covers the underside of the dining room table and is discovered by a startled-looking Mom and Dad. Tearfully penitent, she promises "never again" and her unruffled parents cheerfully direct her toward "a nice fat pad of white paper" so that they can hang her artwork on the wall for the family to enjoy. The illustrations are in flat colors, predominately blues, mustardy yellows and browns with touches of dark greens and purples. The clothing and home decorations have a 1960s or early 70s look. Although parents with enthusiastically artistic little ones may find this useful bibliotherapy, the lack of a compelling story line severely limits the usefulness of this book.?Lisa Falk, Palos Verdes Library, CA
