Peace at Last

Author(s): Jill Murphy

Picture Story Books

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.
