Ok, I am a big JLC fan and have been since "Trading Places". That being said, this is a terriffic and very cute book. As someone who works with five year olds "It's Hard to be Five" strikes a chord.

The text is outstanding and very fresh and new. Ms. Cornell's illustrations are wonderful and cary the tale along in a delightful manner. I can not say enough about the subject and the Ms. Curtis' handling of it. The writting shows a deep understanding about what goes on inside a five year old head and helps that same five year old see the way out.

Nice, nice job.
