From Publishers Weekly

Youngsters learn to tell time with a favorite mouse in Maisy's First Clock by Lucy Cousins. "8 0'clock Good morning, Maisy!" This oversize board book chronicles the major moments in Maisy's day; a clock with movable hands and colorful gears peeks out of die-cut circles, and children can place the hands to match the picture on the opposite page.

An interactive telling time book. Great for younger elementary, or even kindergarten. Children can visually see the time, as well as practice with telling time by working with an interactive clock located int he book. Wonderful for day-to-day functions for younger grades.

Great Maisy book! Clock is sturdy and the hands can be turned. Each page says something like "12:00 It's lunchtime! What will Maisy eat?" with drawings of various foods your child can choose.

[Becky Shaknovich]

This is a great concept book for reading one-on-one with a child or in a very small group. This book is fun when learning to tell time or just learning what we do during each time of day.
