Illustrated by
Tricia Tusa.
Art and text transform a mundane short walk down the block into a full-blown adventure. A little girl turns a cardboard box into a car, a boat, an airplane, and a subway car as she journeys to her grandmother's house next-door. The story is told in few words, but Tusa's quirky, angular illustrations do much to fill out the imaginative drama.
