LoveReading4Kids Says

Celebrate thirty years of the Large family in this stunning anniversary edition of a modern picture book classic.

There can’t be a mum in the country who doesn’t identify with Mrs Large, wrapped in her comfortable dressing gown, doing her best to get away from her children for just five minutes peace (and managing a scant three minutes forty-five seconds)! It is 30 years since the book was first published – this sturdy board book is one of a number of editions to mark the anniversary – and it’s just as funny, accurate and real a portrait of family life as it was when it first came out.  Jill Murphy’s comic timing – in words and pictures – is impeccable, and this is a book that truly deserves its status as a classic.
