"Wise old man, won't you help me, please? My house is a squash and squeeze."

A little old lady lives all by herself in her house but she's not happy - it's just too small, even for one. Whatever can she do? The wise old man knows: bring in a flappy, scratchy, greedy, noisy crowd of farmyard animals. When she pushes them all out again, she'll be amazed at how big her house feels!

A Squash and a Squeeze 30th Anniversary Edition features the classic story from the creators of The Gruffalo with a stunning foil cover as well as extra-special content including a letter from the author and some early sketches from the illustrator to celebrate the anniversary year.

"Wise old man, won't you help me, please? My house is a squash and squeeze."
