Five minutes' peace

A modern picture book classic with a story CD – there's never a dull moment with the Large Family!A book and CD edition of a family picture book favourite, this is the story of Mrs Large the elephant – who just needs five minutes of peace and quiet away from her boisterous children!

So, taking refuge in the bathroom, she fills herself a hot, foamy bubble bath and takes in a tray of her favourite breakfast and the morning paper.

But there’s never a dull moment with the Larges, and it soon becomes clear that mum's quiet time is to be very short-lived!

Read aloud by award-winning actress Miriam Margoyles, family life is beautifully observed in this warm and funny modern classic from Jill Murphy, one of Britain's most treasured author-illustrators.
