Featuring the famously disaster-prone Mildred in "The Worst Witch" and "The Worst Witch Strikes Again." "Pleasant, undemanding stories for young witch fanciers. . . . Humorous, gently eerie drawings on almost every page add to the fun." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Jill Murphy's first story about the Large Family, FIVE MINUTES' PEACE, received the PARENTS Best Book for Babies Award and was declared "painfully funny" by THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW. Three more Large Family titles followed, including A PIECE OF CAKE and A QUIET NIGHT IN. Families around the world seem to recognize more than a bit of themselves in these ebullient and down-to-earth elephants. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL calls their world "instantly recognizable as true to life," and it's easy to see why!
