Look insideA Squash and a Squeeze
The first ever funny rhyme by the world-famous creators of The Gruffalo. What should you do when your house is a squash? Make it even smaller! The old lady’s house is poky and small. Gosh, what a squash! What a squeeze! But with a cow on the table, a goat on the bed and a pig in the larder munching her bread – not to mention a huge flapping hen – can she make her house feel big and empty again? A hoot of a story, bursting with comic energy. Squash up and enjoy!
