A Squash and a Squeeze is a cheerful story about an old woman who finds her house too small, and the wise old man helps her to resolve the issue. It contains an important lesson in appreciating what you have.
The wonderfully flowing rhyme and colourful artwork make it a joy to read out loud, especially if you put on silly voices for the characters!
