A Squash and a Squeeze
by Julia Donaldson
A classic tale about an old woman who complains her house is too small, so she seeks advice from a wise old man who suggests she bring various farm animals inside one by one. After removing all the animals, she realizes her house feels wonderfully spacious and she appreciates what she has. This humorous story teaches children about gratitude, perspective, and finding contentment with what we have.
