(3) K-3 Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Donaldson and Scheffler's first collaboration, here reissued, derives from a Yiddish folktale. An old woman complains that her house is too small, so a wise old man advises her to take in all her animals, one at a time; when she takes them out again, her little house feels spacious. The rhyming text is appealingly illustrated with homey pictures of farm animals wreaking mild havoc.
