This new book by Bethanie Deeney Murguia speaks to Ivy, who often probably feels five. With the big birthday looming in October, Ivy is often wondering what it will be like to be big. On the eve of Fritz's fifth birthday, Fritz wonders how he will be different the next day. Throughout the course of the day he is disappointed that he still feels four. Each piece of his day is illustrated with dashing water colors, helping the reader to see that perhaps growing up is a gradual process. In the end it is finding friendship with a girl that helps him to feel perhaps a little bit 5. Adorably sweet.
