When the hall clock reads twenty minutes past four, the attic clock reads twenty-three minutes past four, the kitchen clock reads twenty-five minutes past four, and the bedroom clock reads twenty-six minutes past four, what should Mr. Higgins do? He can't tell which of his clocks tells the right time. He is in for a real surprise when the Clockmaker shows him that they are all correct!

Great math connection!,
By S.M. (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clocks and More Clocks (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,
This review is from: Clocks and More Clocks (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.
