Vijf minuten, dat is toch niet lang? Of wel dan? Een hilarisch prentenboek over waarom vijf minuten zowel LANG als KORT kan duren met een schattig einde. Ik gaf dat kind geen ongelijk hoor, ik weet zelf dat als ik op iets moet wachten het altijd veel langer duurt dan x minuten. Of als ik iets wil doen maar ergens moet zijn gaat de tijd altijd sneller en lijkt het korter. Ik vond het leuk om te zien wat de jongen zoal op de dag doet, van spelen tot een kermis tot postkantoren en banken tot avondtijd. Een leuk dagje vol vijf minuutjes. XD
Leuke art!

Five minutes can seem like a blip on the radar or like a lifetime. This book celebrates that.

Perception of time changes depending on the circumstances.

Repeated read while we had this checked out. Z in particular loved the back-and-forth about how long five minutes feels. Very relatable for kids.

The title really says it all. The entire book is different scenarios that take five minutes, but depending on what it is is the perspective of how long it feels.
Waiting to be called back to the dentist... fast 5 minutes.
In the dentist chair... slow 5 minutes.
Kids will relate to this book!

Five minutes can go by in a flash or it can take a lifetime... it depends. Parents and kids will identify with this sweetly funny picture book that take a look at just what five minutes looks like.

Not a bad book to introduce how time flies or can slow to a crawl depending on the activity.

This is a cute children’s picture book about how five minutes can sometimes feel like an eternity and sometimes five minutes can fly by in the blink of an eye!

Is five minutes a long time? Well, I guess it depends on what you are doing at the time.
A cute book that is carried by the illustrations. I think the NPR Best Books description was maybe a little overselling.
