Description
When a little old lady can't stand her tiny house any longer, a wise old man gives her some strange advice... And soon her house is feeling smaller than ever, with a hen, a goat, a pig, and even a cow trampling all over her kitchen! But the wise old man has one piece of advice still to give and may yet be able to solve the little old lady's problems.
Adapted from a classic folktale, A Squash and a Squeeze was the very first picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, before they went on to become international stars for their beloved picture books, including The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom.

Donaldson and Scheffler's first collaboration, here reissued, derives from a Yiddish folktale. An old woman complains that her house is too small, so a wise old man advises her to take in all her animals, one at a time; when she takes them out again, her little house feels spacious. The rhyming text is appealingly illustrated with homey pictures of farm animals wreaking mild havoc.
