| 內容簡介： |
Mrs. Large, that peerless pachyderm parent last seen in Five
Minutes'' Peace , makes a return engagement. This time, she decides
that she''s just a tad too elephantine as her baby succinctly puts
it, "Mummy''s got wobbly bits". Accordingly, she dons an enormous
orange sweatsuit emblazoned with the word "FIT" and puts her
reluctant husband and the four little Larges on a diet. There''s
watercress soup, grated carrots and other unappetizing fare, as
well as lots of jogging. Nothing seems to work, however, and the
fitness kick is undermined by the arrival of a cake from Granny.
None of the Larges can resist its sugary allure, and in a hilarious
climax they unwittingly rendezvous in the kitchen for a midnight
snack. Murphy''s drawings are both delicate and droll the sight of
Mrs. Large tiptoeing determinedly to the kitchen in nightgown and
curlers is particularly memorable, and the tale''s message--that
it''s important to love yourself the way you are--will strike a
universal chord in readers. Ages 4-8.
