Illustrated by
Joëlle Tourlonias.
Assuming the package he finds is for him, Andrew opens it and finds a talking stuffed elephant. Together they go on glorious imaginary adventures through Africa. When Andrew discovers that the toy was meant for his neighbor, he's devastated, but friendship wins out in the end. A soft palette of mostly golds and browns convey the warmth of this story.
