groups of children. It's late at night and Mr Bear is desperately trying to sleep--but Mrs Bear snores so he tries Baby Bear's room, but Baby Bear is pretending to be an aeroplane so there's no peace there. Room by room Mr Bear goes through the house trying to find somewhere to sleep. Bright colourful pictures accompany the simple, repetitive text of this delightful storybook. Children will delight in all the wonderful sound effects and Mr Bear's reaction--"TICK-TOCK...went the living room clock...TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK. CUCKOO! CUCKOO! "Oh NO!" said Mr Bear, "I can't stand THIS." So he went off to sleep in the kitchen." And parents will have plenty of empathy for poor Mr Bear's predicament.

Peace At Last, however is 'unisex' in the sense that it is enjoyed by the girls and boys I read it to.

The Story

It begins at bedtime. Mr & Mrs Bear along with Baby Bear all go up to bed. Mrs Bear went straight to sleep (if only I was like that!) but Mr Bear couldn't sleep and found ... ...the living room for some peace and quiet.
But the tick-tock of the cuckoo clock irritates him so he tries the kitchen, where guess what, there's a dripping tap and the hum of the fridge.
The garden is no better because of the different sounds of the animals.
The car is cold and uncomfortable but he was so tired he just begins to drift off to sleep when the sun begins to come up and the birds start their early morning call.
So exasperated he goes ...

Advantages: Use of repetition, well illustrated, strong family feel. Disadvantages: Not a particularly strong moral.
The bear family are tired and decide to go to bed. Mr Bear cannot sleep. It does not help when Mrs Bear starts snoring, he goes to Baby Bear's room and he is not asleep either. He is playing aeroplane noises in bed. Mr Bear goes from room to room trying to find somewhere quiet to sleep. Will he ever get any rest?
"Peace at Last" by Jill Murphy is a simplistically told story of one poor bears futile attempts to get a decent nights rest. As we follow ... ...is forced to endure a variety of sounds from snoring to dripping taps. Jill Murphy has written a repetitive tale that will be popular with all pre-schoolers as it certainly is with my three year old. Murphy's repetitive language are coupled with pages that slowly increase in length, indicating the increasing frustrations of Mr Bear. This allows my three-year-old to become easily hooked in the early, less descriptive pages and she is aware of Mr Bear's ...

Advantages: lovely story and illustrations Disadvantages: none
Peace at Last' is a lovely picture book written and illustrated by Jill Murphy. It tells the story of a family of bears and what happened one night when Mr Bear found it difficult to sleep!
It all starts well enough for Mr Bear - all the family are tired and all go up to bed. Mr and Mrs Bear get into bed together and we are treated to a lovely picture of the two bears - one fast asleep and the other wide awake! Why, you might ask, can't Mr Bear ... ...VERY LOUDLY! I quite like this role reversal as normally, or so it is in my house, the man who keeps the woman awake! Or is that just me?
Anyway, back to the story...Mr Bear gets very fed up and says 'I can't stand THIS' and up he gets to go and found somewhere quiet to sleep. However, as you can probably imagine, nothing is that straightforward. Everywhere he goes - Little Bear's room, the kitchen, the living room, the garden - there is always ...

The hour was late and Mr Bear was tired. But he could not sleep however he tried and wherever he tried. Snore, Snore went Mrs Bear. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock went the clock. Would he never get to sleep? The familiar noises, repetition and beautiful illustrations make this delightful picture book an all-time favourite with children and adults everywhere.
