I think that the mum felt quite annoyed that the children kept following her around when she just wanted some peace and quiet. I liked when the mum said ‘Go on then’ to the children for reading a book and also doing a tune, even when she didn’t really want to.

I like this book because all the children get in the bath with their mummy and the baby forgets to take his pj’s off which is funny. I like the baby elephant the best.

Mrs Large just wants a few minutes of peace and quiet in her hot, foamy, ever so bubbly bath. But as my mummy well knows, when you have three children that's just not going to happen. This story is one for all the mummy's out there, who can relate

I like this book because the elephant mummy goes upstairs and has a bath and pours herself a cup of tea. I also like it because I like the part where the mummy elephants puts her cup of tea on her belly and sucks it up her trunk. It is a fiction book and the mummy elephant is my favourite. I would tell other people to read this book

I love reading this book with mum. The mummy elephant is just trying to get some peace and quiet- it reminds me of my mum and how me and my brother bother her
