After a hard morning's work, Hilda wants a little cool and quiet in her restful old armchair in the shed; but she is not alone: she has to share her refuge with an assortment of animals until, with the arrival of a tiny fieldmouse, the chair tips over tumbling everyone onto the floor. The cosy conversational style text and generous full page pictures have an appealing freshness and bring something of the relaxed atmosphere and sunshine of Australia to the reader or listener.
