"This is a succinct, child-friendly history of how time came to be
measured...The characters in the pen-and-acrylic illustrations look
a bit like a cross between B.C. and Doonesbury comics; the
hand-lettered text creates a movement around the sometimes multiple
images on a page, and the combination of art and words results in
fun. A terrific teaching tool, enjoyable as a read-aloud or when
read independently."--School Library Journal
"With excitement and solid fact, Wells introduces the concept of
time and how we measure it...Wells' chatty informal style will
certainly help adults talk about the concepts with
children."--Booklist
