Overview
Bring home the gentle warmth and mischievous humour of Jill Murphy's much-loved Bear Family with this charming 3-book paperback collection. Gathering three treasured picture books — Peace at Last, Whatever Next! and Just One of Those Days — this set is ideal for bedtime reading, early learning and family storytime. Trusted by generations of parents, teachers and children, these stories combine expressive illustrations with warm, relatable family moments that little ones return to again and again.
About the Books
Each story in this collection captures a familiar slice of everyday life in the Bear household, written and illustrated throughout by Jill Murphy. In Peace at Last, poor Mr Bear cannot get a wink of sleep thanks to a snoring Mrs Bear, an excitable Baby Bear and a house full of tapping, dripping and ticking noises — a reassuring, rhythmic read for any child (or parent) who struggles to settle at bedtime. In Whatever Next!, Baby Bear decides one more adventure is needed before bath time: a trip to the moon, complete with a cardboard-box rocket, a colander helmet and a new friend in Owl — a joyful celebration of imaginative play. In Just One of Those Days, Mr and Mrs Bear wake up late to a morning of small disasters and mishaps, muddling cheerfully through until a lovely surprise waits for Baby Bear at the end of the day. Together, the three stories showcase Jill Murphy's gift for turning ordinary family chaos into gentle, funny and deeply comforting tales, all brought to life with her distinctive, softly detailed illustrations. This paperback set makes a lovely addition to any bookshelf, classroom reading corner or bedtime routine, and works equally well read aloud or by early independent readers.
