It's fun to be five! Big changes are here! My body's my car, and I'm licensed to steer. Learning not to hit? Having to wait your turn? Sitting still? It's definitely hard to be five. But Jamie Lee Curtis's encouraging text and Laura Cornell's playful illustrations make the struggles of self-control a little bit easier and a lot more fun! This is the sixth inspired book from the #1 New York Times best-selling team of Today I Feel Silly: & Other Moods That Make My Day and I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self Esteem. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Getting a Handle on Yourself at FiveWhen one of my sons was five, he would get very angry about virtually anything. If you were in the vicinity, it was dangerous. He was kicked out of three pre-schools before we found one where he felt comfortable and peaceful. Whew! It's hard to know how to talk to a child at that stage. I wish that It's Hard to Be Five had been around for that year. The book opens on a sympathetic note: "It's hard to be five. I'm little no more. Good old days are gone. 'Bye ... Read More Rating: - A book that helped my 5-year old!This book was perfect for my 5-year-old son. Why? When I read it to him, you could almost see him nodding. That's how he felt! It helped him to put words to his emotions of starting full-time kindergarten to having a younger sibling. Made him feel normal and hopeful that things he was having trouble with, friends, temper, school... would get better, and because being 5 is great! The illustrations are awesome, because while you read the book or after, you and your child can look for the small details ... Read More Rating: - BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!As a four and five year old preschool teacher, I was amazed at this book's exact representation of what a five-year-old is feeling! It pegged them perfectly! The important thing is that this book helps the child see that ALL five year olds feel similar to how they are feeling, and experience the same struggles. Yet, it teaches this in such a FUN way! The pictures are great...I would especially suggest this book for one-on-one reading, because of the detail on the pages, but it worked very well for ...

I had my daughters full attention when I read her this book. The kid perspective that Jamie takes is great. Kids can definately identify and reminds parents that it's not all that easy to be a kid. Rating: - Great self-esteem book for kids!Another wonderful contribution from Curtis. We read this book to our daughter until she could read it to herself changing the age to fit her age, from three until five when she read it herself. This book "normalizes" the behavior of children. It helps them and parents to understand our children have difficulty controlling their impulses but are nonetheless wonderful and loveable. I read this book to my daughter's class in Kindergarten and it was a huge hit as well.
