"An irresistibly readable story with all the fizz and bang of a firework"
October 2022 Book of the Month
This celebration of clocks is inspired by the annual Burning of the Clocks event that takes place in Brighton on the shortest day of the year. We watch as happy children parade through their playground carrying the lantern clocks of all shapes, sizes and times. Next, the parade moves down through the town and onto the seafront, then right down to the beach for a bonfire and firework display.
Nick Sharratt’s illustrations fizz with the brilliance of the fireworks and we feel all the excitement of the children with their lanterns. Readers will love joining this parade and poring over the images of the different lanterns and the excited children carrying them aloft. It’s an exquisitely simple story but so full of fun and irresistibly readable.
On a dark winter's evening at the end of December, something strange is happening in the school playground. Lessons finished long ago, but there are lots of children still at school and they're all carrying ... clocks! Clocks of every shape and size - big, small, round and square, heart-shaped, star-shaped. What's going on? Join the children and find out as they celebrate the winter solstice on the shortest day of the year - marching through the town in the Carnival of the Clocks!
