Ceri & Deri: Time for Clocks by Max Low is an adorable story that introduces the concept of time. The illustrations are cute and not overly fussy. A couple of the illustrations were pretty funny, such as the animals' imaginative concept of what a clock looks like. I like how this is a story that will enable a parent or teacher to add simple direct comprehension questions regarding the text. I especially like how it approaches opposites since one animal is a cat and one is a dog -- they look different and have different preferences, yet they remain best friends. It provides a simple introduction to the concept of time and why it is important to use a clock for planning activities. It also briefly tells what a clock is and what the hands do on the clock. I do wish that it would have provided more instruction on how to actually tell time, but I'm guessing the target audience is a little younger than the students that I teach -- hence the character adding illustrations to the clock face as opposed to teaching the characters how to really tell time. This certainly would not be all one would need to teach the concept of time, but it could be useful to use on the very first day of introducing time.

I requested and received and e-ARC of this book from Max Low and Star Bright Books through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
I liked that this book incorporated counting and sharing into the story of two friends that get some candy. I especially enjoyed reading the description of all the candies in Bryn’s Sweet Shop window, I think kids will have a fun time listening to that being read out loud or trying to say it out loud themselves.

This was a really pink book....there were other colors, but it was a ton of pink. I like the fact that it is a book about counting and sharing.

I really love how the illustrations are simple, but complex at the same time. I really love how one animal is striped and one is polka-dotted. Kids are going to love this book!

Another book in this series and I am still not impressed. This one is a bit better. Ceri and Deri keep sharing their candy until there is none left. This does a good job of showing how subtraction works, but it leaves the reader thinking Ceri and Deri are not very smart.
