What is Five more minutes about?
Time works differently for everyone. Dad is always rushing, checking the clock and saying there is no time, while Fox thinks there is plenty of time for playing, watching birds, baking and making friends. As the day unfolds, Fox tries to show Dad how flexible time can be. But when bedtime arrives, they agree on one thing: storytime is never long enough. A funny, affectionate picture book about family life, busy days and enjoying precious moments together.
