FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature
It's a treasure hunt and clues in picture form are hidden under the flaps. It starts in a spooky dark place and moves to a graveyard and then to various other venues. There is even a drive-in movie, which harkens back to the 1950s and 60s. It all comes full circle as the kids arrive home to a wild party and the treasure chest. 1999, Puffin, $6.99. Ages 3 to 7.
