A Squash and a Squeeze

Yoto Says: Julia Donaldson’s first book is based on a Jewish folk tale and will help kids learn how to reframe a situation to see the positive in it.

‘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!
