This week’s question over at the Multiples…and More blog is “What is your favorite children’s book of all time?”

The book I’m choosing is not one that my kids have heard yet, but it was my favorite from when I was little.

Christina Katerina and the Box

I loved this book. In it, Christina and her best friend build all sorts of things out of a giant refrigerator box, much to the dismay of her mother. A ship, a playhouse, even a mansion. Inspired by this book, I remember my sister and I drawing a mansion on our driveway with chalk, and playing “in” it for house. I love that this book made us use our imagination to make everyday things more fun and exciting. I hope the boys will be similarly inspired when I start reading it to them.
