Children are usually keen to learn to tell the time from 4 or 5 upwards and this is the first book that I’ve seen that really does it in a fun way. The author has cleverly orchestrated the telling of the time through a delightful tale in which a little boy visits a clock shop. Vivid illustrations with clear clock faces too will ensure children enjoy the experience of learning to tell the time rather than feeling confused.
Thomas lives in a very busy home. With the help of a friendly clockmaker and a real clock, Thomas discovers how much fun it can be to learn to tell the time! This book comes with it's own clock kit, which includes a clock face to decorate, a working clock mechanism, and second, minute and hour hands to attach and learn from - just as Thomas does.
