The Large Family: Five Minutes’ Peace – Jill Murphy

A classic and highly relatable picture book for any parent. Mrs. Large, an exhausted mother elephant, just wants five minutes of peace and quiet away from her three boisterous children. She tries to escape to the bathroom for a relaxing bath, but one by one, her little elephants find her, bringing their toys, their music, and their chatter with them. It’s a warm and humorous look at the chaos of family life, perfectly capturing the feeling of being an overwhelmed but loving parent.
