Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What Parenting is really like!
Review: 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).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Have you ever just wanted some quiet, alone time?
Review: 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.
