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!This edition features the classic story with a stunning, redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans – big and small!Also available with redesigned covers are: The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, Room on the Broom, The Snail and the Whale, The Smartest Giant in Town, Monkey Puzzle and Charlie Cook's Favourite Book. Review: Awesome book - It's really nice how story is explained. My 4 year old loves and enjoys reading out aloud. He is able to relate to grand old lady . Review: Lovely read for your babies/toddlers - It is an adorable book, with lovely rhyming and simple illustration. The colors are bright and have a good contrast with the background. It is a board book, very good quality paper, and no glossiness, hence the pages are easy to be viewed by babies/toddlers. The pages are bonded well, has round edges and safe for kids. My 4 month old baby loves to hear the rhyming and giggles all along, especially with the "Squash and Squeeze". A cute little read, that gives you the opportunity to add your little imagination, by making the animals' and their actions seem more fun!

Absolutely amazing stories
The quality of the book is good. The Julia Donaldson series is a must for kids. I introduced her book to my son when he was 4yrs old. N he absolutely loved it. So much so that we have almost bought every book written by her

Très drôle !
Cette histoire est très drôle et grâce à la répétition permet de faire travailler des enfants sur le vocabulaire anglais. J'ai également acheté le livre d'autocollants assorti et il est très bien fait.

family favorite that teaches a great lesson!
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.
