About the Author

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification—in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator. His first job in children’s books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK’s Children’s Division and was Managing Director of the children’s mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK.

 

In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin’s Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books—My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends—each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers; and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Priddy lives in London with his wife Zena and their four children.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent practice book for understanding time, July 26, 2006

This review is from: Wipe Clean Telling Time (Spiral-bound)

In general, I don't get excited by workbooks. They're static, I've yet to see one that is way fun, and what do they really teach? However, this book allows your little learner to figure out an answer, redo a page, or create his or her own response. Telling time is not an easy concept for kids to learn, and many do not really get the abstract concept of time until they're 9 or 10. But this book helps a kid learn to recognize an analog clock, a digital clock, and written time. Priddy breaks down the concepts into little chunks per page: if the clock shows 10 o'clock, the child writes down "10 o'clock"; or if the words say 4 o'clock, the child draws the hands onto a clock. Then they get to practice what "one hour later" is. Then it's on to half past, quarter after, quarter 'til. Each page allows the child to practice over and over what those times are on the clock or in writing. Another page connects the child to "what time do you eat breakfast," or "what time do you go to school," allowing the child to think about what that time might look like and fill in the correct what is for them the correct time. The last page has blank clocks to fill in other important times for events of the day.

This book gives excellent practice. The wipe-clean format is an awesome creative tool for this kind of book. If your child is ready to practice some basic concepts about time and is expressing an interest in time (Mommy, you said we'd go to the pool at 4:00. Is is 4:00?), then get this book. If you child isn't quite ready, then at least wait for the 5+ years recommendation on the cover. An excellent book; I am looking forward to purchasing the Simple Math and Simple Spelling books for my soon-to-be kindergartner--they look promising as practice books as well.

This book is a great tool for reinforcing time concepts, including half past the hour, quarter to, quarter past, minutes to and minutes past. Also includes a page for making up your own times. Use an erasable marker and wipe it off again and again for lots of practice. My first grader loved it!

This book is excellent for teaching time. I used it to teach my 5 year old. She understood the concepts easily and quickly. There is plenty of practice problems, and since this is used with a dry erase marker, I can use it over and over! It also teaches quarter past and quarter til, which can be very confusing for a child. Although my 6 year old has mastered telling time to the minute, I will later continue to use this when we come back to the "quarter" past and til concepts.
