Lift the flaps to set the animals free! But whatever you do, stay away from the brown box, please.
Look at that little hamster in a cage, and the other animals, too—a bunny, a squirrel, a bird, a frog, and even a porcupine. All of these little animals want to play outside! Luckily, you, the reader, are in charge of the keys and have only to open the cages to make these critters happy. But wait—what’s in that box that you’re not supposed to touch? Uh-oh.
Good for sparking discussions about unintended consequences.

Whether readers find this small, understated book amusing or upsetting will vary, but it will likely generate strong reactions and interesting conversations.
