Synopsis

A modern picture-book classic – there's never a dull moment with the Large family!

It's Mr Large's birthday and Mrs Large has prepared him a meal, as they're going to celebrate with a quiet night in. But as usual in the Large household, things don't go to plan, and Mr and Mrs Large fall asleep on the sofa! So the little Larges sneak off to bed with all the lovingly prepared food...

About this title

Review:

Jill Murphy's wonderful Large Family, first encountered in Five Minutes Peace return in another story which will strike a chord with busy parents everywhere. It's Mr Large's birthday and Mrs Large is planning a quiet night in without any children. Unfortunately, instead of getting the children to sleep early, the effects of a long day catch up on the parents and, as so often in the Large household, things don't quite go according to plan.

The Large family may be elephants but the situations in which they find themselves are all too human and all too familiar to families everywhere. (Ages 3 and over)

A Big Book edition is also available.

Review:

"Family life is beautifully observed with a humour that appeals to both adult and child." The Daily Telegraph"
