SOLVED. Fantastical book where two kids enter a world through a small box. [s]

[Anna]

This book isn't Narnia no matter how many times my friends try to convince me that's what I'm talking about. This book may have been a series of three books but I'm not sure about that, but if it was a series I don't think i read all the books. In this book, two kids, a boy and a girl, travel into a fantastical world through a small box (perhaps something like a jewlery box). I can't quite remember the plot I think they were looking for a key?? Someone was helping them through their journey I think it was a man but I don't remember him being human. One part I vividly remember in this book is when the children travel into this jungle/rainforest and see all these women tiger/jaguar hybrids in a tree. (I think this scene was on the cover of one of the books) I understand this explanation is pretty vague but I read it about 4 years ago and just wish I could read it again. If anyone has any answers or additional information I'd really appreciate hearing it.
