About this book

Little Cub has built a tent. It’s a lovely tent and he wants to share it with his friends, so he invites them all to come and play. One by one the other animals arrive. First Tiger, then Elephant, then Zebra, Lion and Hippo. Before long, Little Cub’s new tent is feeling very full indeed! When Mouse tries to join in the fun, they squish, and they squeeze but there’s just no room. What can be done? By working as a team, the friends realise they can make an even bigger tent that they can all enjoy.

This gorgeous book for young children has a sweet story that builds up to a fun finale with a gentle message about sharing and friendship. The design includes an irresistibly squishy cover which little hands will love to squeeze as they read about the cute animal characters. 

A perfect excuse to build your own den at home which you can squish into while reading!
