This read-together board book is a snowballing narrative of animal chaos that culminates in story time under a blanket tent. Everyone's on the sofa to share a book: zebra, cat, child, lion. "Wait!" says zebra, "Stork isn't here yet!" Then cat needs a cushion, hamster's missing, someone's sitting on lion's tail, fish wants to be in the middle . . . . NOW they'll be able to start--won't they? In this fun, humorous 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.
