Five More Minutes
by Marta Altés
A wonderful, lighthearted and funny story that is perfect for children and adults to read together.
The story talks about family dynamics in a relatable and charming way, and how the concept of time can be very different: moving agonisingly slowly one day, impossibly fast another, and the idea that there is always time to do things. Just maybe not the thing you should be doing right then.
I enjoy the fact that the family depicted is of a single father and his two children. I like that the family is a little messy, but full of love. And I really enjoy that the most important time is the children’s storyline with their father.
The illustrations are beautifully done, with simple and calming watercolour-esque designs.
This book would make a perfect accompaniment to parent-child reading, or even as a discussion piece for learning to tell the time.
