How to Survive Being 4: By A Five-Year-Old Who Knows Everything Now

By Jonathan Grimes

The ultimate milestone birthday book for new four-year-olds-and the parents desperately trying to handle them.

Written by a world-weary five-year-old expert who has already worked the system, this tactical field guide walks rookies through the advanced psychological game of being four.

From navigating the beautiful lie of the preschool Sharing Circle and surviving the terror of a pointy-cut sandwich, to deploying the perfect "Ghost Artist" alibi when crayon marks appear on the living room wall, this manual covers every major playground battleground.

A NOTE FOR THE PARENTS:

While this book is officially listed for ages 4 to 7, it is a dual-audience read-aloud book. It features longer, sharper text blocks than a standard toddler picture book, acting as a hilarious comedy track for the adults.

Read it together, laugh at the chaos, and use it to negotiate your next high-stakes snack trade.
