(3) K-3 From riding his older brother's bike to liking vegetables to flipping his karate teacher, Jack recounts the things he can almost do now that he's "almost six. And that is almost grown up." Unfussy illustrations let readers in on the joke: Jack isn't close to doing any of these things yet. Torrey's tale is an apt fit for the when-can-I-do-that? crowd.
