In \u003cem\u003eMr Large in Charge\u003c\/em\u003e, Dad takes over the household while Mrs Large rests, learning just how much work a home really takes. \u003cem\u003eFive Minutes' Peace\u003c\/em\u003e, a modern picture-book classic, follows Mrs Large's hopeless attempt to enjoy a quiet cup of tea away from her four energetic children. Finally, \u003cem\u003eAll In One Piece\u003c\/em\u003e follows the family's frantic preparations for an office dinner-dance, testing whether Mr and Mrs Large can make it out in one piece.
