The Pig and the Box

by MCM

One day, Pig finds a magic box that can replicate anything you put into it. Pig becomes so protective of his box, and so suspicious of anyone that wants to use it, that he takes drastic measures. He forces everyone to take their copied items home in special buckets... buckets designed to protect. but might not be so good for anyone else... "The Pig and the Box" is a modern fable that teaches kids and adults alike that sometimes, yes, it's a good idea to trust and to share.

I wrote this book, so my rating is probably not entirely objective. It just felt odd to have it on my shelf without any stars...
