Dog is snuggled up in his basket, nice and cosy - so cosy that a dog, cat, goose, goat, snake ... all want to join him. Even an elephant squeezes his way in. But it is a small mouse and a big sneeze that topple the pile-up, leaving dog alone - but not for long.
This is an endearing story with a structure that mirrors traditional tales such as The Enormous Turnip. Children will love the array of characters, and re-enacting the pile-up!
