A wonderfully warm and relatable story from the brilliant Jill Murphy who has sold over 4 million books featuring the much-loved Bear Family and a charming third story to follow classic picture books Peace at Last and Whatever Next!
Mr and Mrs Bear wake up late. It’s raining outside, and Baby Bear is late for nursery. Then Mrs Bear sits on her glasses at work and Mr Bear spills his coffee! Oh dear – it seems this is just going to be one of those days! But the loveable Bear family muddle through cheerfully, and there’s even a surprise for Baby Bear when Mr Bear gets home from work.
With all the hallmarks of an instant firm favourite, Just One of Those Days is a big-hearted story about a family day, which parents and young children everywhere will relate to. Full of satisfying repetition and rhythm and delightful illustrations, Just One of Those Days is a must-have for all Jill Murphy fans, old and new.
’Murphy’s acute observation of family life continues to delight both children and adults.’ – Guardian and Online

I liked the ending because the whole family were snuggled on the sofa.
I loved that book and Mum loved this one book aswell. My favourite character is baby
Bear.
Realistic
Was a nice story, no matter how bad the day is, comming home to the comfort of family and home and a good night's sleep makes everything all right again.
Wonderful story and shows that not everyday goes smoothly, but it's okay.
I enjoyed reading it to my brother
Really like peace at last and this was a funny follow up!
I like it because its about bear going to school while the mom bear and dad bear is going to work.
Things go wrong but that's ok
My favourite character was mummy bear.
It was funny . It talked about somebody snoring.
A lovely book about family
This was a good book
I liked it because I managed to read the whole book myself: and I liked it when they had a story at the end
It’s one of those days when everything goes wrong, but with the support of family the bears get through it, and know that a better day is to come.
I like the dinosaurs
Mummy could sympathise with mummy bear! Isla liked baby bears dinasour
Good
Great book.
Great Story.
Loved it because it was about how everyone has ‘one of those not so great days’!
This book is fictional. I don't rate it any stars because it's a very short book and I think I am too old for it so it didn't interest me. I wouldn't recommend this book.
Really enjoyed this new one about baby bear.
The large family is the best!
I liked that although they had a hard day the family had pizza and Baby Bear got his favourite T-Rex at the end of the day. Maybe tomorrow will be better for them.
you should not struggle with what others are playing with. you could just ask...and that can solve it.
My favourite part is when dad bear spills his drink by accident.
For some reason I’d read the other Bear family stories by Jill Murphy, but not this one. An absolute delight and such a wonderful pairing of words and pictures. I’ll definitely have to get a copy for the Library. 🤩
