Synopsis

Time isn't an easy concept for kids to grasp, but young readers will delight in learning all about it with the fun and lively lessons in TELLING TIME. Exploring what time is and discovering why we need to tell time, young readers certainly learn more than 'the big hand is on the one and the little hand is on the two'. 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.

With Megan Halsey's fresh, fun, and playful illustrations, telling time is a breeze. Imaginative digital and analog clocks adorn page after page with cuckoos, in the shape of boats, with alarm bells, and more. You won't want to miss a second of Telling Time.

When people talk about telling time, they don’t mean,
“Hey, Time, I’ve got something to tell you!”
No, “telling time” just means saying what time it is.
And by the end of this book, you’ll know how to tell
what time it is!
But to learn how to tell time, shouldn’t you know what
time is?
