Lachie MacLachlan, the generous hero of this enchanting tale, is the exception to the rule that the Scots are a thrifty lot. In his "wee house in the heather," where he lives with his family of twelve, he welcomes to his hearth every weary traveler who passes by on a stormy night. "There's always room for one more," says Lachie, and how his grateful guests say a wonderful "Thank you" provides a delightfully warm and tender ending to this hilarious tale of kindness. Always Room for One More is the winner of the 1966 Caldecott Medal.

在开满石南花的荒野里，有一座小屋，住着拉奇一家十二口人。在一个风雨交加的日子，拉奇敞开大门，热情招呼每一个需要避雨的行人：“进来吧，还能挤下一个人！”拉奇不因贫困而有丝毫保留的慷慨，给行人们带来了温暖的庇护，也给了《还能挤下一个人》一个振奋人心的结尾。《还能挤下一个人》改编自苏格兰经典民歌。
