Squish Squash Squeeze by Tracey Corderoy

Mouse has found the perfect new house. It is cosy, comfortable and just the right size for him and all his things… or so he thinks. But strange noises soon interrupt the peace. Something is growling near the piano. Something slippery is sliding down the banister. And before Mouse knows it, his tidy little home is bursting at the seams.

Squish Squash Squeeze is a joyful, laugh-out-loud picture book about unexpected friendships and learning to share space. As children lift, pull and pop their way through the story, they will discover that Mouse’s house is already home to a tiger, a crocodile and a bear. With a brilliant interactive pop-up ending, this story is full of surprises and irresistible fun.

Perfect for repeated read-alouds, this book combines humour, warmth and physical interaction in a way that keeps young readers completely engaged.
