It's Fun to Be Five!: 8 Stories About Being Five

Rating:
Summary: Five is Fair
Review: There are eight stories in this book that a five year old might be interested in. (Reading level is probably appropriate for some older 5 year olds.) It's convenient to have the collection and might be perfect for a book of stories to stash in a backpack for waits at the doctor, etc. The stories are "from" some children's books you might recognize. I'm not certain if they're excerpts or condensed versions. They seem rather disjointed, although there is a brief introduction at the beginning of each story, which helps make the connection. The stories include some illustrations from the books, some are in color. The stories are nice, but I think my young 5 year old would have preferred going through each book separately.
