My mum does not get five minutes peace from me.

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

The mummy reminds me of my mummy want to get some peace. I laughed when the baby elephant jumps in the bath with all his clothes on because he was too excited !

I liked it a lot, because I enjoy the part when they’re all going upstairs and Mummy Elephant says look after the baby you tow and the Baby says “I’m not a baby!”
The ending was funny when the baby jumped in in his clothes.

This fiction book is very funny, I like the baby in the story and when it splashes in the water with all his toys. Me and my sister do this at home when we get in the bath.
I would recommend this story to other children to read.
