Peace At Last and the Bear Family Stories

A fantastic classic collection of Jill Murphy's Bear stories brought to life for the first time by Anna Maxwell Martin.

Peace at Last


Jill Murphy's bestselling classic Peace at Last has delighted young children for almost forty years, and is equally beloved by tired parents who are all too familiar with the plight of poor Mr Bear. With a snoring Mrs Bear, an excitable Baby Bear, and a house full of tapping, dripping, and ticking, peace is hard to come by—will Mr Bear ever get a decent night’s sleep?

Whatever Next!


Celebrate thirty-five years of the Bear family with this very special edition of Whatever Next!, a tender story full of innocence and imagination. Baby Bear wants to go on one more adventure before bed—a quick trip to the moon. Mrs Bear isn’t pleased, and anyway, she says, he doesn’t have a rocket. Luckily, there’s one under the stairs...

Just One of Those Days


Mr and Mrs Bear wake up late. It’s raining outside, and Baby Bear is behind schedule for nursery. Then Mrs Bear sits on her glasses at work, and Mr Bear spills his coffee. Oh dear—it’s just one of those days! But the loveable Bear family muddle through cheerfully, and there’s even a surprise for Baby Bear when Mr Bear gets home.
