Product description

The old lady’s house is poky and small. Gosh, what a squash! What a squeeze! But with a cow on the table, a goat on the bed, and a pig in the larder munching her bread… not to mention a big flapping hen, can she make her house feel big and empty again? This brilliantly funny rhyming tale, full of vivid images, delivers a handy little lesson about showing gratitude for the things we take for granted. It’s a delightful read-aloud to share together, and as the pig raids the larder and the cow on the table taps out a jig, you’ll be helpless with laughter!

“A bit of a classic… A goat on the bed and a cow on the table tapping out a jig? My readers collapsed in heaps, and then had to have it read again. And again.” Vivian French, The Guardian

    We liked the pig because he was funny.

    We liked the chicken because it flew out the window.

    We liked the cow because it was too big for the house.
