In a small house, an old lady complains about not having enough room. A wise man advises her to invite various farm animals to live with her. The house becomes even smaller and noisier. Finally, the wise man tells her to remove the animals. Surprisingly, the house now feels enormous! This delightful tale, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, comes with a CD featuring narration by Imelda Staunton and Steven Pacey, offering an immersive listening experience for children.
Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, and Superworm. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree. In January 2025, Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author, surpassing J.K. Rowling by some 600,000 sales.
