Clocks and More Clocks by Pat Hutchins

winniethesioux's review

5.0

This book was a silly, engaging introduction to the fact that time keeps moving even if we aren't watching the clock. My first-graders were excited to tell the man in the book WHY he kept thinking his clocks were wrong when really they were correct!

Caveat: this book tells time to the minute "4 minutes after 7, 5 minutes past 8, etc" so make sure they have a working knowledge of how clocks read first!

Mr. Higgins found a clock in his attic. To make sure that the clock was correct, he bought a clock for his bedroom. But he could never be sure which clock was correct. The one in the attic would say 3:00, but when he checked the one in the bedroom, it said one minute past three. Mr. Higgins buys several more clocks for his house before consulting with a clockmaker to solve his problem. A great book to use in a lesson on clocks, watches, and time - although I didn't really care for the illustrations.
