How Do You Know What Time It Is?

"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
