Tick Tock...watch the clock.

In "What's the Time?" young children discover how fun it is to learn to tell the time. The clock you see on the left upper corner in the picture is a durable clock with movable hands. The clock is available for time-telling practice on each page. On each two-page spread, children discover how the hours of a day are connected to their daily schedules. The concept of time is easy for children to understand when they relate it to waking up in the morning, eating breakfast, playing, eating lunch, grocery shopping, taking a puppy for a walk, setting the table for dinner, bath time and bedtime. While the times in this book follow the time line of a "typical child," children are encouraged to answer questions about what the time is when they complete these activities. The colorful photographs encourage awareness of familiar objects in a child's life. The words listed under each photograph, help to enrich vocabulary. Once children have mastered the basics of telling time, they can then look at a real clock and feel proud that they can tell you what time it is. Here is a book which is great fun and has a high education value. ~The Rebecca Review
