My favourite part was when the cow danced on the table.
Chief Pirate Squirrel 21.07.2024
It’s funny because she has to put all the animals inside the house and it’s all messy.

This book was really funny and a life lesson that: when you say you don't have any room in your house, you are kinda wrong because you have more than enough space than you think so enjoy and have fun!

This book was really interesting, my favourite character was the goat because he was chewing the curtains and nibbling the table chair and that was funny. I would recommend it to people/ children who feel like their house is small. Thanks!

I recommend this book because it is a fun to push, pull and slide the scenes to find out what happens when a little old lady fills her tiny house with farmyard animals.

Amazing book
Countess Esmerelda Lavalamp 09.09.2023
The story was really funny and the rhymes make it easy to read.
Baron Trigger Fink 05.09.2023
I liked the old lady because she let the animals stay in and made chaos. It had a good moral of the story and taught me to be greatful for my house and all the space I have without all the animals. I would reccomend it to my freinds.
