Five Minutes’ Peace by Jill Murphy

There won’t be a single over-worked parent who doesn’t identify with Mrs Large in the story! Her boisterous, exuberant brood are determined to deny her just five minutes of peace, no matter how hard she tries to find some precious time to herself. An endearing story which sees the return of the lovable Large family and their antics. Read the book and then ask yourself: Did Murphy create Mrs Large in solidarity of other parents, or to help parents explain that sometimes mummy and daddy just need FIVE MINUTES’ PEACE!?
