«Peace at Last» is Jill Murphy's children's picture book, published by MacMillan Children's Books in hardcover, with 24 pages in English.
One night, Mr Bear is exhausted but can't get to sleep: in the bedroom, Mrs Bear's snoring and the clock's ticking fill the air. He looks for a quieter spot in the house, but every corner has its own noise. With warm illustrations and repetitive text, the story humorously captures a sleepless night.
It is the first title in Jill Murphy's Bear Family series; the book was originally published in 1980.
Aimed at young readers, it works especially well as a read-aloud thanks to its repetitions and sounds.
Jill Frances Murphy was a British author and illustrator of children's books.
