A Squash and a Squeeze

from The Book Shelf

A rhyming picture book from the creators of The Gruffalo, telling of a lonely old woman whose tiny house feels too small — until a wise old man fills it with noisy farmyard animals to teach her a funny lesson in perspective. Read aloud, it builds listening, vocabulary and a love of stories. Written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Best from around three to six years.
