Clocks and Calendars

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking when things will happen or feels frustrated by the abstract nature of waiting. It is the perfect tool for a child who is transitioning into the school years and needs to understand the structure of their day, week, and year. The book provides a clear and visual introduction to the mechanics of time, explaining how clocks track minutes and hours while calendars manage days and months. By focusing on these concepts, the book helps alleviate the anxiety of the unknown, giving children a sense of agency and pride as they learn to read the tools that govern their schedules. It is particularly appropriate for the 5 to 8 age range, acting as a bridge between a child's natural curiosity and the practical math skills they are beginning to master in the classroom. You might choose this book to help a child prepare for a big event or simply to build their confidence in navigating their daily routine.
