I couldn't believe that this book was still on the go. I remember my nursery teacher reading this book way back in 1976. I was fascinated by the pictures in it so much that when I saw it recently I just had to buy it for my daughter. She loved it of course and it gave me the chance to grab a little bit of my childhood back!

Great math connection!
8 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is a great introduction to a study about time. I read this book to my first grade class and it really made them think about the problem that was presented in this book. After a few minutes, most students were able to arrive at why the main character was having difficulty telling time. I would recommend this very funny story to any 1st or 2nd grade student.

Cute, But Not A Book I'd Buy - a review of Clocks & More Clocks
13 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
We like Pat Hutchin's books, this one included, but it is not one I would buy. Cute though it is, "Clocks and More Clocks" is sort of a one trick pony.
The whole story is centered on the fact that clocks in different parts of the house don't show the same time. The reason: it takes time to travel from one floor to another. But once you figure out what is going on, how entertaining is the story? Not very.
Three Stars. Cute. Makes children think, but it's not a book that I imagine children will ask for over and over. Once you *get* the joke/point, the book looses its luster. Suggest getting at the library.
