review 1: Great math book from 1st-4th grade. Can be used to introduce time and teach about elapsed time. It talks about what can happen in a second, minute, or hour. You can use this to have the students make up their own daily schedule and come up with their own elapsed time problems(for older grades) or just talk about how many seconds in a minute, minutes in a hour, hour in a day (younger-middle grades).
review 2: This is a very educational book and adults will find it as interesting as children, BUT it is difficult to read. Jenkins has tried to stuff too much information into one book and failed to organize it except by the time interval (second, minute...). This makes the book difficult to read and concentrate on. If I, an adult, find it difficult, I expect many c... morehildren will as well. The illustrations are gorgeous, but I agree the ruler like component at the bottom of the page was distracting and I kept trying to understand it, and finally decided it was not relevant. As a reference book, I think this is an excellent book and will teach the concepts of time well. less
