highly recommended

One of my favorite books for small children

If you want a book that entertains not only the child but also the parent, this is it.
My husband used to read it to my son over and over again. He would read it with such passion, such understanding!
Then I would read it to my son too.
This book is loved by children, fathers and mothers and all care givers. You will love it too!

Have you ever just wanted some quiet, alone time?

All mothers will easily be able to relate to Mrs. Large. Mrs. Large just wants five minutes of peace away from her three children, so she decides to take a bath. Minutes later her children join her, one by one, and end up in the bathtub with her. Finally she has had enough, and goes downstairs "where she had three minutes and forty-five seconds of peace before they all came to join her."

Mrs. Large and her family are all elephants, which causes for some absolutely wonderful drawings. My favorite is probably when she is sitting in the bathtub, sipping tea, while wearing a yellow flowered shower cap. The pictures in general are really cute, colorful and expressive. The story is told in a very straightforward, endearing manner. In my opinion, this is a great book.

an excellent book. it says it all.

The text and illustrations on this book are exquisite. Every busy mother can identify with Mrs. Large. Highly recommend for all mothers....

What Parenting is really like!

A book which shows what parenting is really about, Mrs Large tries to get some time to herself but is thwarted at every turn! The simple text and beautiful illustrations make this book both my favourite (I'm 31) and my daughters' (4 and 5).

Hilarious "Mom-tries-to-get-peace-from-kids" tale

Has a plot that EVERY mother will know all too well. Mrs. Elephant futilely tries to relax in the bath; this is impossible with her three active kids. Illustrations are colorful and funny, so is the story. Great gift for ages 3-5 years; older siblings will enjoy listening to it as well.
