A young boy's snacktime is interrupted by a visit from an elephant. As soon as he moves over to make room, they are joined by a tiger...and a hippo...and a big blue whale...and soon a full menagerie, each insisting there's room for one more.

With his trademark marriage of story and song, children's entertainer Bill Harley tests the boundaries of his young hero's patience -- and hospitality -- in one of August House's most popular LittleFolk picture books now available in paperback.

Young readers will delight in counting candles on the birthday cake that is among the many favorite foods to be found in Kitty Harvill's vibrant, kinetic cut-paper collages, which capture the energy and rhythm of Harley's cumulative tale.
