How can you turn an empty box into a time machine? This comical story featuring endearing characters with vivid imaginations celebrates creativity and ingenuity.

Samantha the anteater simply can’tbelieve it when her friends Grant the aardvark and Antoine the armadillo tell her they plan to build a time machine.Can they really make such a thing from a big old box and a bunch of “hoozie-doozies”? Samantha has her doubts, but is willing to jump in and help her friends fulfill their plan in an unexpected way.
"A splendid use for a box, indeed." —Kirkus Reviews

"The language is replete with words such as 'hoozie-doozies,' and 'doodads.' It rolls off the tongue with occasional poetic segments such as 'Flippers flapped. Wings whapped.' The unusual characters' devotion to each other and their project is an asset to the book." —Library Media Connection

"Children who have ever created anything out of a box will identify with the trio's ingenuity. The colored pencil-and-gouache illustrations add warmth and humor to the story." —Booklist
Suzanne Bloom is the author and illustrator of the picture books featuring Goose and Bear: A Splendid Friend, Indeed, a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book; Treasure; What About Bear? and Oh! What a Surprise! Her other books include Feeding Friendsies, No Place for a Pig, A Mighty Fine Time Machine, and the popular The Bus for Us. She lives with her family in McDonough, New York.
