[.ca] Large Family Collection (ISBN 0744582288)

From Amazon.co.uk:
Jill Murphy has been hitting the nail of family life well and truly on the head with the everyday adventures of the rather marvellous Large family--the long-suffering Mrs Large with her erstwhile hubby Mr Large doing battle with Lester, Laura and the baby. The Large Family Album brings together four classic Large stories in one bumper volume.Five Minutes Peace, with Mrs Large desperately trying to escape the family for just a little while, is an absolute classic; All In One Piece sees Mr and Mrs Large trying to escape for a night out without the kids; A Piece of Cake has Mrs Large putting the entire family on a diet and A Quiet Night In that Mrs Large has planned for her husband's birthday turns out to be not quite what she had in mind... A fantastic collection of picture stories, beautifully written and illustrated with a classic wit that will strike a chord in every family, The Large Family Album is one book that no home should be without. (Age 4 and over) --Susan Harrison

Excellent:
Once again the Large Family come up trumps or is that trunks! Hilarious, it had both me and my children laughing hysterically!

A REALLY LARGE BEDTIME STORY:
When thinking of animals in bedtime stories one often thinks of rabbits, kitten, puppies, all sort of cuddly creatures. Rarely does one consider an elephant but, thanks to Jill Murphy, change that thinking. Mr. Large, the lovable head of an elephant family finds that reading bedtime stories puts him to sleep rather than his children. Just think of the sounds that nose (or trunk) could make! Amusing and imaginative, A Quite Night In boasts artwork that shines with color.
