Squash & A Squeeze

A brilliantly funny rhyming story full of favourite farm animals, A Squash and a Squeeze is the first ever picture book written and illustrated by the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo.

A little old lady is fed up with how small her house feels. Whatever can she do? The wise old man knows: bring in a noisy crowd of farmyard animals. When she pushes them all out again, she’ll be amazed at how big her house feels!

This classic story is a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans – big and small!

Also available: The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, The Snail and the Whale, The Smartest Giant in Town, Room on the Broom, Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book and Monkey Puzzle.

Look out for the brand new Gruffalo picture book coming on 10th September 2026.
