Peace at Last

Peace at Last' by Jill Murphy is a children's book that tells the story of Mr. Bear who struggles to find a quiet place to sleep. Throughout the night, he is disturbed by various noises in the house, including Mrs. Bear's snoring, the ticking of the clock, and the dripping of a leaky faucet. He moves from room to room, even trying to sleep in the car, but is continuously thwarted in his quest for silence. Eventually, as the morning arrives, Mr. Bear finally finds peace and falls asleep, only to be woken up by the alarm clock. Despite his exhausting night, the story ends on a humorous note as the family starts their day, unaware of Mr. Bear's nighttime adventures.
