Jill Murphy has found the winning formula of making her books work just as successfully for both children and adults. Mrs Large, who struggled so hard to get Five Minutes' Peace in the last book, is once again submerged in motherhood, this time trying to get ready to go for her long-awaited evening out and being thwarted by the help and hindrance offered by her children. The appeal to children is immediate with the wonderfully naughty children and brilliantly clever character illustrations. Rueful identification with Mrs Large is inevitable in any adult with experience of young children!
