My son surprised me when he pulled out Tell the Time with Thomas for his book of the day. I haven't been able to find an AR level or reading level for this book, but my 7-year-old was able to read this with a little help from me on a couple of words. We've also been working on the clock in his math so being able to find the clock while reading is an added fun activity that helps the child relate the clock to real-life activities. Only hours were used in this book, but it does address the quarters of the clock at the beginning and ending if you want to go over those with your child as well.

I can't say that my son has been particularly into Thomas the Train at any point, but he has pulled different Thomas books the last two times he chose a book to read. And I like he enjoyed learning the names of the different engines and cars.

Tell the Time with Thomas is a fun activity book that can be used for your child's reading once they start. My son is still reading level-1 books, but he's starting to advance towards level-2. We both recommend Tell the Time with Thomas and give it 4 Stars. Have you or your child read Tell the Time with Thomas? What did you think? Let me know!

Cute and simple book that gets children learning numbers 1-12 and where to find them on a clock. This is an interactive clock book; however, the clock hands are kind of tricky to move.

Zajímalo mě, jak se malí Angličani uči hodiny :D Moc se to neliší od toho, co si pamatuju z dětství.

This is such a cute book! This book allows children to interact and set the clock for different things Thomas and his friends are partaking in during the day. This is a great book for review with children. The children can simply practice setting the clock to a certain time and check themselves with the rough sketch of the clock on the page. It can be used as an informal assessment.

Belinya tanpa pikir panjang, ternyata manfaatnya banyak banget!

Selain pengenalan kata, angka juga pengenalan tentang waktu. Ada jarum jam yang bisa diputer-puter, menyenangkan :)
Bacain buku ini dari Nadia umur 2 tahun sampe sekarang masih tetep jadi pilihan bed-time-story-nya

Both (but especially Holden) liked changing the arms on the clock.
