A huge cardboard box becomes a castle, a clubhouse, a racing car and more for Christina and her friend Fats. In it they swear undying friendship, wage furious battles'and drive Christina's mother crazy. You won't believe how much fun a cardboard box can be!?A gleeful little story of imaginative play'enlivened by the delightful illustrations.' ?School Library Journal?The idea of imaginative play is convincingly and elaborately pursued.'The illustrations augment the story with visual detail.' ? The Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksPatricia Lee Gauch lives in Hyde Park, NY.
Christina Katerina and the Box speaks right to the heart of those wonderful creative and imaginative moments that come so naturally for children. It is these very moments and experiences that we must continue to encourage, inspire, and preserve despite a growing technical society in which easy-access and instant gratification are too often the substitutes for creativity and imaginative spirit. Gauch and Burn have reminded us of these valuable things, and hopefully this book will continue to inspire children to make a world out of a cardboard box!
Perfectly Enchanting !!!

As a girl I loved this book as much as she loves her box. For years I have been trying to locate a copy without success until today. I have 4 daughters who have heard of this story through me, now they will be able to read the story themselves.
