How Do You Measure Time? introduces children to measuring time with
both clocks and calendars. Readers meet seven-year-old Ann and see
how time affects her life. This informative book is appropriate for
children in kindergarten through second grade. Using simple text
and color photographs, the authors do an excellent job of
explaining units of time and how they relate to one another. They
show both shorter and longer units - from seconds to years - and
reinforce them throughout the book. They also explain that at times
a minute can seem short; whereas at other times, it can feel much
longer, depending on the situation. The end of the book includes
interesting time facts, a glossary of time-related words, a small
list of related books, and a code that can be used to access
additional information at FactHound.com. Overall, this book is a
great resource to have for teaching time to younger students.--
