Reception: A Squash and a Squeeze

by Julia Donaldson

In Reception 3 we have been reading lots of different books. One of our favourites is ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’ by Julia Donaldson.

A little old lady lives all by herself in her house but she is not happy - it's just too small, even for one. Whatever can she do?  Luckily the wise old man knows just what to do.

Poppy says: I like it when all of the different animals go in the house. They all make a mess and the old lady gets grumpy. She says "My house is a squash and a squeeze!"

Mohamed says: The old lady's house is too small and she asks the old man to help her. He tells her to take all the animals in her house and she says "what a curious plan"

We have really enjoyed reading this book and the children have given it 5 stars. We are looking forward to listening to some more stories by this amazing author.
