Time is a funny thing. Dad talks about it a lot, but I think I know more about time than he does. A child gives his time-starved dad some sage advice about what 'time' really means, and how to make the most of it. Wise, witty and full of acutely observed vignettes of family life, Five More Minutes is the latest offering from bestselling author-illustrator Marta Altes.

It was great and awesome because it was so funny. Dad said 5 more minutes just like mummy. The children always make mess. This book is for children like me.

I liked that the little boys thought they knew more about time than Dad, but really Dad knew more about time than them.

This was a nice story. I also thought it was funny and very true. I would recommend this book, especially nice to read with your daddy. My favourite part was all the stuff the children got up to while daddy wanted 5 more minuites in bed.

A short story but sometimes its true that time goes very fast , when I go to my friends house and my mum says its time to go home even that I feel like we just came. Its a funny story seeing daddy running all day but they did have a time for bed time story. Dad thinks that he knows the time but still he was late for a bus or swimming lesson.
