''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!
Perfect for listening to at home, in the car, at bedtime – or any time at all!
