"Picture-book validation for any child who has ever chafed at being told 'five more minutes' before the end of a fun activity, or groaned at prolonged unpleasantness for the same span . . . As for the book itself, well, in five minutes you can read it to 3- to 5-year olds—twice." —The Wall Street Journal
"An accessible story that entices readers to slow down and enjoy a moment (maybe five?) in its company." —Kirkus
"'Funny and astute, the volume represents five minutes well spent." —Publishers Weekly
