Description
In A Squash & A Squeeze, a little old lady thinks her house is too small – until a wise old man tells her to bring in the hen, the goat, the pig and the cow, one by one. It’s a story children love to join in with, and one that almost demands to be acted out.
What’s inside: your choice of the picture book, board book, Push Pull & Slide edition or the sack on its own; the Little Old Lady and Farmer hand puppets by The Puppet Company; and Cow, Pig, Hen and Goat finger puppets – all in a Fairtrade organic cotton drawstring sack.
The repeating, cumulative structure makes it ideal for retelling, sequencing and counting, with plenty of scope for small-world and dramatic play. A gentle way in, too, to talking about perspective and appreciating what we have.
