This is a modern picture-book classic - there's never a dull moment with the Large family! When Mrs Large decides she is too fat, she puts the whole family on a diet. Biscuits and crisps are out; healthy meals and healthy jogs are in. But for hungry elephants, dieting is definitely not a piece of cake! "The Large Family" series has sold nearly four million copies worldwide.

Customer Reviews
A book I like to read to my one-year-old in hopes of empathy
A beautifully illustrated book describing the (fruitless) efforts of a mother elephant trying to get the "Five Minutes' Peace" of the title. My one-year-old is mildly amused by it -- I think it's great. As his sense of humo(u)r develops, I hope he'll "get it" -- and I'll get five minutes' peace myself.
Dieting is funny in the eyes of children.
I liked the bit when they ate the cake.-Michaela, Naomi and Stephanie. I liked it when the baby says "wibbly Wobbly"- Veronica, Kate, Emily, Christian, and Lucy.
A Piece of cake
I got the book because I remember reading the large family books when I grew up and so I wanted to share it with my daughter - however I was disappointed with the size of the actual book.
