Below by Nina Crews

Jack drops his favorite toy, Guy, through a hole in the staircase and worries about the dangers Guy might be facing down "below". Busy parents are unable to help immediatly so Jack must use his own ingenuity to retreive Guy all by himself. By using his toy crane, he joyfully recovers Guy and lots of other lost toys.
Crews' uses a variety of illustration techniques, dreamy double exposure images and hand drawings, to creatively show Jack's vivid imagination.

I second this. The photographs lend an air of realism to this simple story. Finding the lost toy through ingenuity should appeal to creative kids. This is just plain fun for young students.
