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.
