Plot Summary:A story about a pilot, a captain, a machinist, a driver, a mailman, a girl - and a giant box. What's in the box, the giant box that the pilot brought with him from a country, far, far away?
The multicoloured, turbulent journey of a huge crate never seems to end. Whatever could it contain? An elephant, a lion, a bear? First it’s loaded onto a plane, then a ship. Then it goes up the mountains in a train, and over hill and dale on a bus. The crate keeps getting smaller and smaller and everyone has their own idea of what may be hidden inside. But mum’s the word!
