Childrens Books About Time (Time Unit Study)

Building on the familiar Hickory Dickory Dock nursery rhyme, this rhyming picture book tells the story of a cat who chases a mouse.

Hour by hour, more animals (and people) join the chase until midnight, when the whole exhausted group collapses into a heap.

With digital and analog clocks on every page, this entertaining story teaches young readers the basics of telling time.

Time isn’t an easy concept for kids to grasp, but young readers will delight in learning all about it with the fun and lively lessons in Telling Time. 

With the help of a whole lot of clocks, a dash of humor, and a few familiar circumstances, learning to tell time is a lot of fun. It’s about time.

Using Kumon’s step-by-step approach, this workbook introduces children to the concept of telling time by concentrating on the hours first, and then incrementally introducing children to half- and quarter-hours.

Learning to tell time this way will also help children improve their general understanding of numbers.

A snack at 9:00, a nap at 10:00, sneaking onto the forbidden chair at 11:00 — telling time is the only way Big Mama Cat can remember all the important things she has to do.

A sturdy fold-out page at the front of the book reveals a clock with movable plastic hands.

Young readers can change the time as Big Mama Cat moves from one adventure to the next in her busy day.

With this delightful clock book, preschoolers can follow their favorite mouse throughout the day – a day much like their own – while learning the basics of telling time.

What’s more, little readers can help Maisy with some very important decisions, by choosing from bright, simple illustrations of familiar objects labeled by name.

What will she wear? What will she play with in the park? What ingredients does she need to bake cookies? What will she bring with her to bed?

This second book in the Telling Time sequence helps children learn how to tell time down to the minute.

By using a variety of different activities to keep children engaged, this workbook helps children learn this difficult skill without feeling frustrated or anxious.

This brilliant, bright book, which is packed full of fun activities with lots to look for and do, includes a clock with moveable hands, so that young readers can turn the hands to the right time as the Schoolies enjoy their day.

From waking up to favorite lessons, the bus ride home to bedtime, kids will love spending a day with the Schoolies!
