My First Book of Time

by Claire Llewellyn

This introduction to time looks at the basic concepts of time as well as explaining how to tell the time. The book uses a series of games, puzzles and activities to help children learn how to tell time, both traditional and digital time-keeping, and understand the passing of time. Included is a fold-out clockface with movable hands, that serves as a practical learning aid and information on how people told the time long ago, and facts on the seasons and the natural order of time.
