How could I have forgotten to add Roxaboxen to my list until now?! Do I even deserve it at this point? Assuming I do, let me just recommend this book for ALL children and as many adults as can be convinced to read a "kid's book." The story of imagination, friendship, and carefree childhood days of creation is captured perfectly by Barbara Cooney (of Miss Rumphius, another must-read). It is pretty frickin' magical. And its name is even fun to say.
