What can pit bulls teach us about crime? Why are problems like homelessness easier to solve than to manage? How do we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job?

PreS-Gr. 2. This simple picture book relates the time on a clock to the pattern of a young child's day. Each page shows an analog clock and a digital clock displaying the time, from seven o'clock one morning through the day and night to seven the next morning. The illustrations show the child's activities and, in the night, his dreams. The text consists of a simple phrase or sentence, for example, "Wake-up time--a great big stretch." Very young children will enjoy watching others playing, bathing, eating, and going to bed, while older ones may begin to grasp the concept of time and the techniques of telling time. Soft pencil drawings delineate the rounded forms of children engaged in their daily activities. The rich colors of the washes glow against the white backgrounds, which give the pages a clean look. The last double-page spread suggests a few other books as well as activities and discussions. An appealing, practical choice from the MathStart series.
