What is The little, little house about?
Joseph and his family already feel cramped in their little, little house, but wise Aunty Bella has a surprising solution. She tells Joseph to bring the chickens indoors, followed by the noisy rooster, the goat and the cow. Soon the house is bursting with feathers, hooves, smells and chaos! As the family struggles to cope with their unexpected guests, Joseph begins to see his home differently. A lively, funny folktale about gratitude, perspective and discovering that perhaps there is enough room after all.
