Christina Katerina and the Box by Patricia Lee Gauch, illustrated by Doris Burn 1998
The difference between the imaginations of an adult and a child are crystal clear in this story. Christina transforms the refrigerator box on her front lawn into a plethora of creations. She and her mom have a literal tug of war between each transformation that the box takes; from a castle to a racecar. The friendships of children are explored as well, touching on sharing and respect for others things.
Burn’s illustrations are black, brown, and white. They timelessly capture the joy in imaginative play.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
