Imagination Power Excerpt:

Chance the cardboard box relaxed in the cozy sunbeam.  He admired the bright colorful drawings that the kids had made on his sides and wondered when they would have their next adventure.  The cardboard box heard a commotion in the kitchen and then the boy and girl raced into the living room to play.  Startled by the racket the little kitty quickly leapt out of the box. The girl said to her brother, “I think it’s your turn to pick what we do.” “Ok.” The boy said, shrugging his shoulders.

 

Chance wondered what they would do today as the boy hopped into the cardboard box. “Have a seat.” He said to his sister.  “We’re going to be submerging soon, so get comfortable.”

 

“Yes!” She exclaimed.  “I’ve always wanted to pilot a submarine!”

 

“Since it’s my idea, I think I should get to be the captain.” The boy said.
