Welcome to the Humdingle family! Theres Grandma and Grandad, Mum and Dad, the children and the pets and they all live in one tiny house. Its a little squashy and noisy in the house, and sometimes the Humdingles wish they didnt have to share quite so much. After all, one toilet between three generations can get tricky!
