(2) K-3 In this wordless story, a long-ago boy hides a box of amusement-park memorabilia under an attic floorboard. Time passes: fields give way to buildings and horses to automobiles before a trio of youngsters finds the box. Spare, rectilinear pictures, with ruled lines, pared down forms, and simply expressed faces, demand not only careful observation but logical thought to decode the visual narrative.
