[ 책 소개 ]
뉴욕타임즈 베스트셀러인 "I'm Gonna Like Me"와 "Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born" 그리고 "When I Was Little"의 저자인 Jamie Lee Curtis(글)와 Laura Cornell(그림)이 다시 팀을 이뤄 만든 재미있는 그림책입니다.
다섯살(우리 나이로는 여섯살)이 된다는 것은 어린 아이들에게는 커다란 의미가 있습니다. 처음으로 학교에 들어 가는 나이이고, 아기에서 어린이로 성장하는 단계이며, 자신을 통제하는 방법을 터득해야만 하는 나이지요. 동생에게 소리를 지르면 안되며, 해서는 안되는 장난들이 있다는 것을 깨달아야 하고, 진흙 구덩이에서 놀고 나면 자기 몸을 깨끗이 닦아야 한다는 것을 알아야 할 나이입니다. 그리고 처음으로 학교(유치원)에 가서, 줄을 서서 차례를 기다리거나 얌전히 앉아 있는 등 스스로 자신을 통제하는 방법도 배워야 합니다. 다섯살이 된다는 것은 정말 힘든 일이지요. 하지만 이런 변화들이 반드시 나쁜 것 만은 아닙니다. 이런 변화 때문에 다섯살이 된다는 것은 매우 재미있는 일이기도 합니다. 학교라는 새로운 놀이의 장소가 생기고, 그곳에서 그림을 그리거나 만들기를 하기도 하며, 자신의 정체성을 드디어 자각하기 시작하는 나이가 바로 다섯살입니다...

Book Description
Learning not to hit? Having to wait your turn? Sitting still? It's definitely hard to be five, but Jamie Lee Curtis's rhyming verses and Laura Cornell's playful illustrations make learning self-control a little bit easier -- and a lot more fun! Whether it's learning to say please, or waiting in line, or walking on your own, It's Hard to Be Five shows readers that all children struggle with self-control. In the tradition of the duo's other best-sellers, this book explains that overcoming the hard things in life helps us to grow.
It's Hard to Be Five is the sixth book from this beloved team, whose previous book, I'm Gonna Like Me, spent thirty-seven weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.
Publishers Weekly
The creative team behind Today I Feel Silly amiably addresses the challenges of being a five-year-old especially the pesky problem of learning self-control. In the story's wry opening, the narrator observes, "It's hard to be five. I'm little no more. Good old days are gone. 'Bye one, two, three, four." Among the trials he faces are controlling his temper when dealing with his younger brother ("My mind says do one thing, my mouth says another"), avoiding dirt and starting school ("School seems so scary. School seems so strange. I'm only five. My whole world's going to change"). Curtis's singsong verse also focuses on some of the pluses of being five: though his brother is strapped into a stroller, the hero can walk by himself ("It's fun to be five! Big changes are here! My body's my car, and I'm licensed to steer") and school entails some entertaining activities ("At five I'm a worker a bee among bees. I build things and grow things, say thank you and please"). Cornell's buoyant, teeming spreads and spot illustrations convey the boundless energy and changeable moods of this likeable five-year-old with on-target, hyperbolic humor. Though the narrative winds to a rather corny close, this cheerful book with its clever visual details will surely appeal to fans of the collaborators' earlier books as well as those looking for a reassuring, age-appropriate tale for the kindergartner in their lives.
Children's Literature
The jolly rhymes are written as if by a five-year-old, describing how hard it is to be past the "good-old days," to be in a time when so much more is expected of you; when you want to do what's right but just can't seem to. School is scary: "It takes Superman skill. Sitting in circles. Sitting so still." But it also sometimes fun to be five as well, with new skills and opportunities. "It's hard fun to be five..." "I'm here and I'm proud!" Kids can enjoy identifying with the mixed emotions as they learn to work their own control panel. Cornell's energetic, comic watercolor drawings demonstrate with gusto the frenetic actions of this normal kid. From the beginning end-papers with the "5-o-meter" flashing the "Panic" button through the many scenes with rhyming text plus all sorts of funny writing on book cover, back pack, in speech balloons, etc. she takes us on a frenetic romp guaranteed to wear out most adults while grabbing the attention of youngsters. On the back end-papers, the "5-o-meter control panel" is running smoothly at last.
Kirkus Reviews
Curtis echoes Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! in her latest collaboration with Cornell that laments and celebrates the agony and the ecstasy of being five years old. Rhythmic verses bounce along as the boy narrator lists his daily challenges, most involving the entropic nature of childhood that flies in the face of etiquette and hygiene: "It's hard to be five. Just yelled at my brother. / My mind says do one thing, / my mouth says another." As ever, Cornell's hilarious, detail-rich illustrations effervesce with amusing asides that catapult the engaging but unspectacular verse to another level. A couple of clunky lines ("My body's my car, / and I'm licensed to steer") are, like the subtitle, perplexing and overly adult. Still, children will relate to this vivacious tale of a boy who likes to stay dirty, pretend to be a ninja, and bite his friends-but, on the brighter side, builds things, grows things, and says "thank you" and "please." |
