My Magic Treasure Box

I will put in the box

The sun rising over the Eiffel Tower

The last smile of a great-grandfather

The sea rushing over the rocks

I will put in the box

The sound of the Indian waves

A touch my sisters face

The smell of the snow and English Channel

I will put in the box

My first taste of ravioli

The taste of a lemon and raspberry ice cream

The first strawberry in Europe

Page 3: Treasure Boxes

I will put in the box

The rain drops falling in my mouth

The sun shining in front of me

The wind blowing against my cheek

My box is carved

Of deep green grass with brown mud from Australia

The lock is made of the shine of a Cheetah’s eyes

The entry code is made of jelly beans.

My box will

make my dreams come true

make Isabel come back from Madrid

make everybody happy.

By Alicia Wade Melidonian Moiser Charles Lawson

My fairy box

I will put in my box

A rainbow with eight colours in it

A sip of the Atlantic Ocean

The first tears of a baby

I will put in my box

The first snowy day of winter

The smell of a fresh yellow rose

The smell of new sea

Page 7: Treasure Boxes

I will put in my box

Sand trickling through my hand

The last bit of the Titanic

A statue of luck

I will put in my box

All the rubies in the galaxy

My pony’s tail

The end of the world!

My box is made of…

The smoothest ice

When opened it turns to polar bear furs

My Beautiful Box

I will put in my box…

A garden of colourful butterflies,

The Turquoise Ocean splashing

against the sand,

The clear moonlight hiding behind

the creepy branches.

I will put in my box,

My dark red heart with all my

kindness,

Page 9: Treasure Boxes

All my romantic dreams I have.

My box is made of,

Swirly water falling down,

Butterfly shapes,

And little asterisk-stars

I will keep it all my life

In my room, hidden in my closet.

I will look at it every night.

My Box

Claudia

I will put into my box

A golden sunrise

Over the whitest snow from the mountains,

The smell of french fries,

The sound of crunching leaves.

I will put into my box

The most colourful rainbow,

The softest and cutest puppy,

The rivers from a Chinese forest with baby

pandas.

Page 13: Treasure Boxes

I will put into my box

A baby howler monkey’s fur,

A furby boom, pink, sky-blue and black,

Violets and roses, with water drops on the

petals.

My box is made of blue diamonds,

But you can’t look through it.

There is a bracelet with a diamond,

And that diamond is the only thing that

That opens it.

I will take it with me

Everywhere I go.

It’s got some of my favourite animals in it.

My Box

Gustavo

I will put in the box

A magical time machine,

A diary that I will never forget

and the robot R2D2.

I will put in the box

The snow of the smooth white clouds

Super heroes from Marvel comics

The little wooden frog that my grandma

gave to me

(when I stroke it with a stick it makes a

frog sound).

Page 19: Treasure Boxes

I will put in the box

digging under ground and finding fossils.

(when I find a fossil I am proud of myself.)

My hairy little hamster in his little house

My box came from space to earth

It landed in my house, in my room, in my

bed.

My box is very little

But it can fit the whole universe inside, all

of outer space.

And all my wishes that I dreamed.

When I am dead in the future

My box will be hidden in the graveyard

next to me.

I will put in the box

An erupting volcano a thousand metres high

My guinea-pigs Buster and Ratatouille

And Italy seen from space

I will put in the box

A lake at the end of China with the smell of sea

And the smell of a dreaming horse

The smell of my mum’s quiche

I will put in the box

My cushy brownie cake

And my dad’s fish lasagne

And a Christmas roast diner

Page 25: Treasure Boxes

I will put in the box

To slide down waterfall like a Spanish dragon

And to ride on my friend, Clara’s horse

To swish down a giant water slide

My box is made of…

My Mother’s lovely smoothness

And the hearts of my school friends

A Panda that has never been seen before

I will throw my box down a giant mountain

Put a secret door in it

And bury it safe for ever and ever.

My Treasure Box

I will put in my box

A blazing feather of a phoenix,

A ribbon made of the colours of rainbows,

The golden horn of a unicorn.

I will put in my box

The sound of the rustling leaves in a damp rainforest,

The smell of paint as it splashes on a shiny canvas,

The feel of the warm silky fur of a month-old puppy.

I will put in my box

The rushing colours of the wind,

A lightning storm, crashing thunder from the sky,

The cherry colour of sunrise and sunset.

I will put in my box

A million shards of violet-flavoured candy,

A runny yolk of an egg and the crisp sides of bacon on a

plate,

Page 27: Treasure Boxes

A bowl full of fresh berries and whipped cream.

My box is carved out of the oldest oak wood,

The lock is made of jade coloured dragon eye stones,

The hinges are fashioned out of delicate autumn-brown

pebbles,

The key is made out of dreams and is shaped like a

cerulean-coloured dragon,

Nobody knows that at night it comes alive and guards my

small chest.

I shall sometimes step into my box,

Inside, it is always night,

A silhouette of a grey wolf howling at the blue corn moon,

A field of glowing fuchsia and indigo orchids,

Tiny dragons with wings of rainbow hues,

Singing and humming a beautiful lullaby to each other,

And a giant peach tree, the blossoms swaying in the cool

breeze.

My Special Golden Treasure Box

I will put in my box

The sunset

The sound of violins playing a sonata of Vivaldi

The smell of hot chocolate drifting through the air.

I will put in my box

A Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. Scrumptious!

Cherry Sunburst destroying villages.

The blossomy spring breeze making a Pacific wind.

I will put in my box

Entering my stories in real life (Crime at the

Guggenheim),

The feeling of people celebrating, enjoying life at

parties

A staring snow leopard, his breath frozen with

glittery frostiness,

Page 31: Treasure Boxes

I will put in my box

The mountain falls of the north Pyrenees, the

Garonne collapsing toward the sea,

A portal leading to Neptune, or Jupiter or Outer

Space,

The moon shining in the night with the peaceful

vague trees.

My box is made from crystal-ice mirrors.

It reflects in the light every day in winter,

The avalanche will come to you if you open it.

Then obscurity will spread through your body.

I will show my box to Mr Gregg and Mrs Baldwin

And to all IST and I will make a feast with lots of

people

And give things to the poor.

My box

I will put in my box

Thousands of multi-coloured baby elephants

That comes from Africa

A pink humming bird from the forest in

the south of England

I will put in my box

The wave-washed beach of Miami

And the chief roller-coaster

The sight of the Egyptian statue

The pleasure of an African little girl

Page 37: Treasure Boxes

I will put in my box

The sun rising behind the Pyrenees

And the wonderful smell of red roses

Peace on an island with a smoothie

A water fight in my own back garden

I will keep my box

In my safe keeping

My Box

I will put in the box

The Twin Towers from New York

A comet from the deepest part of space

An America eagle flying over the Grand

Canyon

I will put in the box

My cat’s super soft calico fur

The beautiful aquamarine Maldives water

A field covered with snow

I will put in the box

The best sushi in all of Japan

A veggie burger from Washington D. C.

Pizzas from Pisa

Page 39: Treasure Boxes

I will put in the box

The feeling of being in the cockpit of the F14

tom cat

The dream of me flying over the Himalayas

Me as a magnificent white swan

My box is fashioned from rubies, emeralds,

sapphires, diamonds and topazes

The hinges are made out of gold

With a big diamond on the top.

I will keep it safe in my bedroom

Let no one see it

It will always be my box.

I will put in my box

A crazy dream of a giant roller-coaster

Children laughing in the playground

The colours of a clear rainbow

I will put in the box

My happiest memories,

Like when I was a baby

And my mum was holding me,

I will put in my box

A place magical in the mountains.

All of my friendship,

My best and revered moves.
