How this book came to be

The Bear, the Box and the Boy is version 627.5-e of the ever-evolving bedtime story I had been telling my son, from the age of about 2 years old.  He loved his bedtime stories, especially the ones where he gets to travel to far-off and adventuresome lands.  He has to have his stuffed animals, which he calls “friends,” come along, and snuggles with them when they all return to the bed safe and sound for the night.
