Little bear and little tiger live in a little house by the river. One day, a wonderful-smelling crate floats past them, with the word 'Panama' written on it. Little bear and little tiger decide that Panama must be the land of their dreams, and set off on a quest to find it, which leads them to a very unexpected place...This is a touching story about learning to appreciate what you have.
