Five Minutes: (That's a Lot of Time) (No, It's Not) (Yes, It Is)

A one-of-a-kind, laugh-out-loud picture book, perfect for any kid who has ever begged or bemoaned, Five more minutes?!

Families everywhere will recognize themselves in this clever, hilarious, and completely irresistible picture book. Five minutes is a lot of time... or is it? Well, it depends on what you're doing, of course! Follow one little boy and his family on a very busy day, as he discovers that sometimes five minutes feels like forever--like when you're finishing up at the dentist's office or waiting in line for the bathroom or in the backseat on a long car ride--and sometimes five minutes feels like no time at all--like when you're playing your favorite game or at the tippy top of a roller coaster or snuggling up with a book before bedtime.
