Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-This attractively formatted title is a winner. Chapman and Robson introduce various aspects of time in a clear, concise manner and offer hands-on activities to reinforce the concepts. Youngsters will learn about life spans and life cycles, body clocks, geological and historical time, plus solar and lunar calendars. Colorful charts, diagrams, and photographs enhance the information. Unfamiliar words are printed in boldface and defined in the glossary. A useful book for both students and teachers.?Susan Chmurynsky, East Kentwood Freshman Campus, MI

From Booklist
Gr. 3^-5. Taking on a difficult and abstract concept, the authors of this look at time present brief text, colorful pictures, and simple projects on 14 time-related themes. Following a child's developmental patterns, the book begins with concrete and egocentric examples and progresses to more abstract and worldly concepts. One of the first projects asks children to make a time line of all the things they do in a typical day, with variations for older readers supplied. Later projects include constructing a variety of time devices--among them, a pocket sundial--and developing a time capsule for the future. Offering projects for both primary and middle-grade children, this attractive oversize book provides hands-on enrichment activities that will fit nicely into the elementary curriculum.
