The day the refrigerator arrives in its large brown carton, Christina Katerina and her mother are both excited, but for very different reasons. Christina quickly claims the box, where she creates a castle, a clubhouse, and other fantastic playthings with her sometimes-friend Fats Watson.
"Christina remains one of the classic characters of children's literature . . . sort of like Harriet the Spy for preschoolers in her taking-care-of-business way." --Kirkus Reviews
"This is a gleeful little story of imaginative play . . . enlivened by the delightful illustrations." --School Library Journal
