There was this great book I read as a kid whose title I can’t remember sadly. It was about a bunch of empty boxes (hat boxes I think) that are misplaced somehow and are colonized by a bunch of little tiny people or something who build a town out of them. Anyone recall this?

Only additional details I remember: it was large and had lots of illustrations and was perhaps at 2nd/3rd grade reading level. Not a baby book, but not young adult either. There were also hot air balloons made out of paper bags and parachutes made of flowers towards the end.

I don't think it's these amazing books from the late 80s, but might help you triangulate: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nome_
