WHAT’S INSIDE THAT CRATE?

for readers aged 4+

Six characters try to guess what’s inside the crate they’re about to transport. The pilot, the captain, the engine driver, the bus driver and the postman on his bicycle: they all imagine it’s some kind of exotic animal.

Though they transport the crate with the greatest care, they can’t prevent it from breaking open repeatedly. And each time a smaller crate appears.

Gaudesaboos’ prints saturate the pages and are executed in great detail without becoming excessive. He achieves this by using a simple colour palette, with contrasting colours for the crate and the vehicles. Thus the prints remain tranquil, while the reader undertakes a journey of discovery examining the sumptuous details. The attentive reader will, for example, be tempted to discover all manner of animal figures.
