Big Hand, Little Hand

An appealing set of verses on half-size pages above a clock face with two movable hands is designed to teach toddlers how to tell time. The verses take them through the day, from 6 in the morning when it's time to wake up, until twelve o'clock midnight, when everyone is fast asleep. In between, children meet Farmer Fred, and the farm animals, as well as other friendly creatures who live nearby--a mouse, a porcupine, a pair of squirrels, and others. As preschool children follow the verses and look at the accompanying pictures, they can match the clock's hands with clocks in each charming full-color illustration. Before you know it, they'll understand how to tell the time of day!
