About the Author
Ever since Jill Murphy can remember she has been writing stories and drawing pictures. She has written many picture books for younger readers, and the much-loved Worst Witch series, which she wrote when she was seventeen. Jill attended a convent school, where she says she was hopeless naughty and difficult and too dreamy to concentrate. She attended Chelsea Art School and then took a number of jobs including working in a children's home, as a nanny and touring around Togo and Ghana on a motorbike, before she became a full-time writer and illustrator in her twenties. Jill enjoys knitting and lives in London.

A wonderful little book - just right for bedtime stories,
This review is from: Peace at Last (Puffin Pied Piper) (Paperback)
Peace at Last by Jill Murphy is a wonderful little book that is just right for bedtime stories. It's the tale of a drowsy Mr Bear as his attempts at sleep are disrupted by Mrs Bear's snoring, baby Bear's playing, clocks and cats, taps and owls (something no matter how old, we can all relate to). The text is easy to follow and the artwork is ideal for little ones. My four-year-old twins - Lucy and Joshua - adore this book, it was one of their first and we'll be reading it long after others have lost their appeal.

Another good book for your children,
By Alex (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peace at Last (Puffin Pied Piper) (Paperback)
My son and I love this book. We pretend making the sound that the father bear hears, and it's good fun. Actually it's quite a long story for young children, however my son can enjoys and follow me till the end.

Not a favorite,

This review is from: Peace at Last (Pied Piper Book) (Paperback)
Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, but my nieces ignore all attempts at audience participation and it just doesn't interest them. *shrugs*
