About this deal

This is the story of Mrs Large the elephant – who just needs five minutes of peace and quiet away from her boisterous children!

She is also well known for her picture books and was commended in the 1980 Kate Greenaway Medal for Peace at Last. Family life is beautifully observed in this warm and funny modern classic from Jill Murphy, one of Britain’s most treasured author-illustrators.

Mrs Large stacks a tray with several items she likes and tries to go upstairs for a bath and ‘five minutes peace’ from the family. However, Jill continued working as a nanny until the publication of The Worst Witch Strikes Again prompted her to devote herself to full-time writing. This story will be a lovely story to read to your EYFS or KS1 children in the classroom, during story time. Celebrate thirty years of the Large family in this stunning anniversary edition of a modern picture book classic.

Five Minutes' Peace' is one of a series of books based on the 'Large family', another popular story in the series is 'A Piece of Cake'. 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! Another of my childhood favourites which I've enjoyed even more revisiting as a parent, can completely relate to Mrs Large as even a simple pleasure of having a relaxing bath is nonexistent once child are involved! The illustrations in the book are bright, colourful and offer great scope for speaking and listening sessions.A stunning 25th anniversary edition of an award-winning 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!
