1. "The Secret Box," by Barbara Lehman
What reader of any age can resist a mystery? In The Secret Box (Houghton Mifflin, 48 pp., ages 4-8) Caldecott winner Barbara Lehman draws the story of a candy box full of secret clues left hidden by a child long ago. Decades later, other children find his coded message. Lehman’s drawings and the aura of mysterious adventure that they create are nothing short of delightful.
