The Ding Dong Clock

by Carol H. Behrman, Hideko Takahashi

All through the night and into the morning of a busy day, the Ding Dong Clock keeps careful time, never failing to ring in each hour.

A lyrical text and playful illustrations make learning how to tell time fun and easy. Throughout the story the concept of time is continually reinforced by an inset clock in the corner of every page. Young readers can follow along as the hands on the clock change to reflect each new hour. Then they can move the child-safe clock hands on the book's cover to practice what they learn. With The Ding Dong Clock little ones will be able to tell time in no time!

[Heidi-Marie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cutesy rhyming book about time. Clock face on front that has its entertainment and teaching value as well. I like the little side events going on in the house (like the mice and their scavenging). But this book is too young even to book talk at the K-5 Booktime. Good for toddlers.
