Its a funny story, if I was mum I would make a lock for the door so they can't get in.
This book is funny
Mrs Large wanted to have a rest from all the children, just five minutes' peace. She wanted to have a hot bath and drink her cup of tea quietly, but the children came and joined her in the bath. Then she went to the kitchen, but only had three minutes' peace before the children joined her. A nice story that shows children that mummy needs a rest sometimes.
Found it very funny, kept talking about how some things from the book happen at home too
I like Mrs large the best because she’s a very good mummy
Lester is my favourite character

I liked that the little one forgot to take his pyjamas.

Good story
It was actually a bit funny, but Mrs Large was a bit mean because she was really cross and the children were sad. The funny bit was when the baby had his pjs on in the bath!
It was very very easy read
I really liked that there was kid elephants and they were trying to help their mum have a bath
