A wonderfully warm and relatable story from the brilliant Jill Murphy who has sold over 4 million books featuring the much-loved Bear Family and a charming third story to follow classic picture books Peace at Last and Whatever Next!
Mr and Mrs Bear wake up late. It’s raining outside, and Baby Bear is late for nursery. Then Mrs Bear sits on her glasses at work and Mr Bear spills his coffee! Oh dear – it seems this is just going to be 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 from work.
With all the hallmarks of an instant firm favourite, Just One of Those Days is a big-hearted story about a family day, which parents and young children everywhere will relate to. Full of satisfying repetition and rhythm and delightful illustrations, Just One of Those Days is a must-have for all Jill Murphy fans, old and new.
’Murphy’s acute observation of family life continues to delight both children and adults.’ – Guardian and Online

Was a nice story, no matter how bad the day is, comming home to the comfort of family and home and a good night's sleep makes everything all right again. Wonderful story and shows that not everyday goes smoothly, but it's okay.
