A Squash and a Squeeze: A funny rhyming story about farm animals from the creators of The Gruffalo

Great book, fast delivery.

We’ve read this dozens of times with our son, and it never gets old. The quality of the Julia Donaldson rhyme and Axel Scheffler’s illustrations is top-tier. It’s a very fun way to teach kids about gratitude—the 'wise old man' has a brilliant, albeit chaotic, plan to show the old lady that her house isn't so small after all! It’s a high-quality paperback that’s sturdy enough for little hands. A relatively cheap addition to any bookshelf that provides endless entertainment.

Absolutely children’s classic not to missed out of any child’s Julia Donaldson library

Absolute gem of a story book for children ..

Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books are works of art. The stories are written beautifully, rhyming with a rhythm that sets the pace. This ensures that as an adult I do not get bored reading the same stories over and over again as the more familiar the story becomes the more I can work on my expression and how I deliver giving me almost as joyful an experience as that of my son listening to them. I feel excited when he brings me a book and then we can have a short bonding session over the story before he goes off to play again. The books describe simple everyday scenes and experiences that a child might encounter helping them make sense of the world around them, mixed with magical characters like dragons, witches, Santa etc.Alex Schefflers artwork is beautiful complements the stories perfectly. The same characters often pop up in different books, whether it be the Gruffalo Child’s stick man in his own story or simply a squirrel and a frog. This helps my son who is fifteen months old develop his own narrative. He does not understand the words I am reading but gets plenty from the rhythm and my intonation whilst building his own story and understanding from the pictures, he is always pointing different characters out to me or finding them when I ask where they are. He loves books and I think that these books enhance a joy of reading and learning. He brings the books to me time and time again.This book has wonderful rhymes and a clever twist. Interestingly, it is not a personal favourite Julia Donaldson book for me. It is still excellent and is one of my partner's favourites. My little boy loves having her read it to him.

Recommend this book from a friend as a nice relaxing but fun bedtime read. Have now read this about four times in a week! Our Son loves it!

A good story/poem with a nice moral. Fab author, she is a childhood staple in my family, we have many of her books.

Lovely book.

It is a timeless classic written in a beautiful understandable yet sophisticated English language. Highly recommended piece in your kids library.

Great book!

Julia Donaldson is one of my favourite children’s author. Lovely books. A keepsake for my kids.
