Telling time becomes clear and easy for young readers in this bright and lively introduction to measurements of time. From seconds to minutes, hours to days, exploring what time is and discovering why we need to tell time, helps young readers understand more than 'the big hand is on the one and the little hand is on the two'. Megan Halsey's playful illustrations depict imaginative digital and analog clocks that range in design. With the help of a whole lot of clocks, a dash of humor, and a few familiar circumstances, learning to tell time is a lot of fun. It's about time.

Telling Time After Reading Through Once!

Our almost 6 year old has been wanting to be able to tell time for the past year. We've tried many different manipulatives with not much luck past the o'clocks and X:30. After reading this book just once, she's now actually telling time on analog clocks. It's slow going, but she really gets it now. Our daughter LOVES the poem at the end. It also covers calendar time - from one day to a millenium.The book is VERY interactive in the way it's written when the parent reads to the child. My only complaint is that it's never explained about what hour it is when the hour hand is between numbers or almost on the next number.
