"I'm 5" by Alva Sachsdescribes a little girl turning five. We are treated to a party with herfriends and the excitement of the age milestone. But then, little Julie realizes that the act of turning five years oldis not simultaneous with the first day of kindergarten. She must wait and sheis very impatient to begin school. Every day, Juliearises only to be told it will not be the day she will go to school. And then,her older sister comes up with an idea which will help Juliein approaching the date that so excites her. Julie responds well to hersister's suggestion and, in the process, she is taught patience and planning.

The illustrations in the book are delightful. The bright multicolor picturesare attention-getting and they enhance the readability for the child. Themessage about how age alone does not determine the right of passage in life'sexperiences is one which every child must learn. The author presents thedilemma to the child reader in an understandable and compassionate manner.Parents might do well to follow the suggestion of the older sister in the bookas the project is a hands-on project that most pre-kindergarteners will love totake on. The process of maturation through the waiting process will be onewhich will delight parents of preschool children. Although the audience for thebook is limited, the messages are will appeal to many preschool children whoare impatient and unable to plan for special events in their lives.

From the Author

Did you ever have to wait for something? Sure, we all have, right? It is not easy to wait for something exciting to happy, maybe a vacation, or a special visit from a relative or friend. How about waiting to start school? For Julie, she turned 5 and she was ready for school, but school was not ready for her. Sometimes we have to learn that to wait for some thing makes it even more special when it finally happens!

    Illustrations were wonderful. However, the basic idea of the book was that the girl was was finally going to get to go to school because she turned 5. Most kids today have already gone to pre-school, pre-k and 4 year old kindergarten. The "I'm 5" title is good but needs a different story line. I got it for my granddaughters 5th birthday anyway.

    I'm 5 by Alva Sachs is an adorable story about a sweet little girl named Julie who's turning 5.

    Julie can hardly wait for her 5th birthday. Then she will be old enough to go to school. Julie doesn't understand that it's summer vacation and she will have to wait a whole month before kindergarten begins. Each day she wakes and gets ready for school only to hear, "not today." Finally, Julie's sister gives her a calendar and shows her how to mark off the days. Now, Julie understands and can enjoy the rest of her summer. But, will she be ready when the big day arrives?

    I'm 5 is charmingly illustrated by Patricia Krebs, who is a very skilled artist. Each of her images are a delight.

    I'm 5 is a perfect story for children getting ready to start kindergarten, but can be enjoyed by children of all ages.

    I recommended picking up a copy of I'm 5 by Alva Sachs.

    I ordered this lovely little book to read to my granddaughter who is going to start kindergarten this fall! She loved it:D The idea that the author wrote about using a calendar to X off the days until school starts is very exciting to her. The book is small and just the right size for a small child...she enjoys holding it and "reading" it herself!
    I recommend this book to anyone who has a child getting ready to start school!
    Very cute story and beautiful pictures.I'm 5
