A brilliantly funny rhyming story featuring favourite farm animals, A Squash and a Squeeze is the first picture book created by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo . A little old lady thinks her house is far too small and doesn't know what to do. Following the advice of a wise old man, she invites a lively collection of farmyard animals into her home. As the house becomes busier and noisier, the little old lady discovers a new way of looking at her situation and gains a fresh appreciation for what she already has. Filled with humour, memorable rhymes, and charming illustrations, this classic picture book has delighted families for generations. "My readers collapsed in heaps, and then had to have it read again. And again" – Vivian French, Guardian Look out for Gruffalo Granny , the new Gruffalo picture book adventure.

My 4 month old baby loves to hear the rhyming and giggles all along, especially with the "Squash and Squeeze".
