Five Minutes’ Peace : 40th anniversary edition

Celebrate forty glorious years of the Large family in this stunning anniversary edition of a modern picture book classic. “If you are not familiar with these stories, you really have not lived … you just couldn’t get better” GuardianA gorgeous 40th anniversary edition of a family picture book favourite with a shiny gold foil cover! 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 Large family, and it soon becomes clear that mum’s quiet time is to be very short-lived! Family life is beautifully observed in this warm and funny modern classic from Jill Murphy.
