“Children will be entertained as well as informed by this presentation.”— School Library Journal

“Mechanically minded children willing to follow Koscielniak through this quick history of calendars and clocks will find the time well spent.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[An] impressive history of timekeeping”—The Horn Book

“Brightening every page is watercolor artwork: clear diagrams of astronomical relationships, stylized historical scenes . . . and excellent pictures of clock mechanisms, which, in conjunction with the text, enlighten readers as to how the ‘workings’ actually work. Students beyond the ‘telling time’ stage will find this an attractive introduction to the broader subject of time.”—Booklist

Présentation de l'éditeur :

“[An] impressive history of timekeeping.”— Horn Book

Bruce Koscielniak, in this Common Core text exemplar, tells the intriguing story of the many years spent tinkering and inventing to perfect the art of telling time. When time itself was undefined, no one knew the difference between a minute, an hour, and a day. Then people started creating tools to measure time. First they used the sun, the moon, and the water, but soon after people began using their knowledge about the natural world to build clocks and to create calendars made up of months and years. Centuries later, we have clocks and calendars all around us!

This title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Informational Texts)
