"The authors of one of my all-time favorite children’s books (Bob, Not Bob) have done it again with Five Minutes (That’s a lot of time) (No, it’s not) (Yes, it is). A family faces all the perils of five minutes from first thing in the morning (five more minutes of sleep is too short) and rushing out of the house (five minutes and still in pajamas!), to the end of the day (five minutes of drying dishes is too long, but five minutes of reading is not long enough). Olivier Tallec manages to masterfully illustrate boredom and frenzy, and the image of the little boy as he waits five minutes at the post office is snort-worthy. (For ages 3 to 7)"
