Can I Sit in the Middle?

Everyone's on the sofa to share a book: zebra, cat, child, lion. "Wait!" says Zebra, "Stork isn't here yet!" Then the cat needs a cushion, the hamster's missing, someone's sitting on the lion's tail, the fish wants to be in the middle... NOW they'll be able to start-won't they? In this fun, cumulative story, the familiar chaos of piling onto the sofa with friends builds to a climactic hullabaloo until the happy ending of sharing a book in an ideal reading spot-behind the sofa under the blanket tent. Susanne Strasser's snowballing animal stories that children love are bestsellers in multiple languages.
