When the hall clock reads twenty minutes past four, the attic clock reads twenty-three minutes past four, the kitchen clock reads twenty-five minutes past four, and the bedroom clock reads twenty-six minutes past four, what should Mr. Higgins do? He can't tell which of his clocks tells the right time. He is in for a real surprise when the Clockmaker shows him that they are all correct!
This book is a great introduction to a study about time. I read this book to my first grade class and it really made them think about the problem that was presented in this book. After a few minutes, most students were able to arrive at why the main character was having difficulty telling time. I would recommend this very funny story to any 1st or 2nd grade student.
