TIME OUT!

A Time Out turns into a journey of epic proportions in this imaginative picture book filled with rocket ships and dreams of flying to the moon--perfect for fans of Not A Box and Harold and the Purple Crayon.

CRASH! Delford Evan Eliott has made a mess, and his mother sends him to his room for a Time Out. But is Time Out really such a punishment? Not when you have a spaceship to board, a starry sky to visit, and a moon to circle around!

With a bedroom full of boxes-turned-spaceship, an off-page mother counting down the Time Out, and a little boy who simply refuses to sit still, this adorable picture book celebrates the imagination and brings readers along on a trip through the outer reaches of our planet and our minds. Fans of Not a Box and Harold and the Purple Crayon--as well as dreamers of all stripes--will see themselves in these pages.
