A Squash and a Squeeze
A Squash and a Squeeze

Joyful farmyard chaos with a clever lesson

This is a lovely read for little ones who enjoy noisy animals, big reactions, and stories they can join in with. Julia Donaldson’s rhyme makes it feel bouncy and playful, while Axel Scheffler’s illustrations add that warm, funny charm. It leaves you with a simple, satisfying idea about gratitude and perspective that really sticks.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A classic picture book by the award-winning duo Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Wise old man, won't you help me, please? My house is a squash and squeeze. When a child asks for help because their house is too small, the wise old man suggests bringing in a flappy, scratchy, noisy crowd of farmyard animals. After pushing them all out again, the house feels bigger. A humorous rhyming tale with bright illustrations that has delighted children for years.
