About the Author:
Jill Murphy is one of this country's best-known author/illustrators. She wrote and illustrated her first book, The Worst Witch, while still only eighteen. Since then, she has produced many bestselling titles, including three more Worst Witch stories, as well as the picture books Peace At Last, The Last Noo-noo (Winner of the Smarties Book Prize 0-5 Category) and it's companion, All for One. Five Minutes' Peace won the Best Books for Babies Award and All in One Piece and A Quiet Night In were both shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. All four Large family titles are now available bound together in hardback as The Large Family Collection. Jill lives in Bodmin, Cornwall.
From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 2 Murphy's second story about the Larges continues the household adventures of an elephant family with four preschool-age children. While Mr. and Mrs. Large get ready for the office dinner dance, the children mess and meddle until the exasperated Mrs. Large shouts, ``Can't I have just one night to myself? One night when I am not covered in jam and poster paint?'' As she walks out the door on the arm of her husband, however, sharp observers will note that although she may have a night out, it is not without decoration. Murphy's ink line and colored pencil renderings of household and elephant details are apt: a child-made picture of Babar hangs in the kitchen; trunks are useful as well as affectionate appendages. Left-hand text is accompanied by small vignettes which contribute to the narrative rather than merely decorate. Told from a mother's point of view like its predecessor, Five Minutes' Peace (Putnam, 1986), the story will definitely appeal to beleaguered parents. But the humor and the joke being on, or all over, Mom will also tickle child readers. Susan Hepler, Windsor Public Library, Conn.
