Five Minutes' Peace & We're going to find the monster

Five Minutes' Peace & We're going to find the monster

Synopsis' "Five Minutes Peace by Jill Murphy Mums everywhere will understand the plight of poor Mrs Large. All she wants is five minutes' peace and quiet away from her boisterous children! So, taking refuge in the bathroom, she fills herself a hot, foamy bubble bath and takes in a tray of her favourite breakfast and the morning paper. But there’s never a dull moment with the Large family, and it soon becomes clear that mum's quiet time is to be very short-lived! Family life is beautifully observed in this warm and funny modern classic from Jill Murphy. "We're going to find the monster by Malorie Blackman & Dapo Adeola" A rip-roaring picture book adventure from superstar pairing Malorie Blackman and Dapo Adeola. Over the shimmering ocean, up the huge, high mountain, through the deep, dark forest . . . WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE MONSTER! Join two intrepid adventurers as their imaginations transform their house into a wild wonderland - and their big brother becomes a mighty monster. A joy to read-aloud with its cumulative refrain, and full of funny, relatable characters, this is a contemporary celebration of creativity, fantasy and family. Both titles will be available from the 7th September

Five Minutes' Peace An all time classic, and beloved favourite in our house. I'm picking this in tribute to the marvellous Jill Murphy, who wrote (and illustrated) for children and parents alike, with wit, understanding and massive warmth. We're Going to find the Monster Written by our wonderful children's curator Malorie Blackman, this wonderful tale will warm your heart
