The Clock Struck One: A Time-Telling Tale
When the clock strikes one, a fun-loving mouse runs up the clock. But what happens when the clock strikes two? A cat gets hungry for mouse-tail stew . . . and the chase is on! Hour by hour, more animals - and even a few people - join in. The crowd charges into the barnyard, dashes through the kitchen, and eventually heads right into the middle of town.

The chase in this reworked nusery rhyme is reminicent of Tom and Jerry. The author has a trifecta on her hands with this one. There's the all important nursery rhyme factor, her reworking the words makes for a good read aloud which combined with the illustrations is a good story, and last but not least, there is a clock on every page by which children can recognize and learn how to tell time. This would make for a great storytime book for preschoolers.
This is a story about a mouse who runs up the clock. The cat gets hungry so he chases the mouse. Every hour something new is happening. This is an excellent book to talk about time and rhyming, in the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock, but with a fun twist. I believe the children will enjoy the book. At the end of the book there is a lesson on clocks.
I couldn't believe my 5 yr old son would let me take this one back to the library! It's Hickory Dickory Dock updated and made into a very fun chase story. There is time telling taught along side without being obtrusive and the illustrations are nice and interesting.
The art is oddly shaped and shaded, which distracts a lot from the storyline. And while this seems to have been designed as a "math concept" book, complete with talk about time concepts in the end, the design and plot line do little to teach kids about time.

Bright illustrations and a simply rhyme make this a nice choice for storytime... Have the children make their own clock (paper and paper brads) to practice analog time telling.
Extends the nursery rhyme to create a simple story. Rhymes all the way through with the various times of day. Maybe do a select few to make it work for story time?
A take-off on Hickory Dickory Dock with a long animal chase around the farm.
Cute way to introduce telling time for younger kids.
rhyming and telling time
Cute rhyme - "a time-telling tale".
