Empathy for Moms

After ranting on the phone to a friend about my life with twin toddlers, she sent this book to me as a gift. What a gift! It was a huge hit for the whole family! It made me laugh because it captured my exasperation with mothering toddlers in an honest and humorous way. My girls loved Jill Murphy's amusing illustrations and the funny chaos that the Large kids create. And most importantly, they were able to empathize with Mrs. Large. Woo hoo! It gave us the perfect set up to teach our kids that parents need breaks too (and that even a shortened break of 3 minutes and 45 seconds is a welcome respite to refuel the zapped energy!)

Excellent

Something even Mom's can enjoy! Kids will love it so much they'll memorize it. Quick read, not too much text on each page, but enough to engage kids anywhere from 2-6 years old!

My Favorite Book

I love to give this book to new mothers. It was given to me when I had my first daughter and it made me laugh! How true it is to try and get a simple bath or shower once you have a child.

Love this book, as do my children!

Such a cute book, great way to explain how a mom needs a break sometime too! We really needed this!

A search for five minutes' peace that every busy family will relate to.

All Mrs. Large wants is five minutes' peace from her energetic children, but chaos follows her all the way from the kitchen to the bath and back again.

"This book is pure joy, one that parents, not just children, will want to keep on hand; Murphy's frazzled mom will find a soft spot in every reader." --Publishers Weekly

"It happens to be an elephant family having breakfast. It could be yours.Painfully funny." --The New York Times

"A hearty chuckle can be experienced during shared reading time between a mother and her children--perhaps eliciting a bit of understanding." --School Library Journal
