Five Minute's Peace

This book, another by Jill Murphy of the Large family series (see also); its focus is more on the desperate multitasking goddesslike Organisational Efforts of Mrs Large to keep all her children satisfied and safe while keeping the House in Order - all before Mr Large gets back from work! I was fairly critical of the series as a whole last post but on reflection I think it's a great way of drip-feeding small children the ideas of respecting their parents' authoritative needs and commands as Elder Beings; that is what parenthood is for is it not and children learn the ropes from the bottom up!
   And this series about elephants is likely a good one for building strong early-childhood reading foundations if you want them to not be whiny needy little trunk-nosed shits when they hit puberty.
