Our Review

This interactive board book brings Dr. Seuss's signature rhyming charm to the essential skill of learning to tell time. Guided by the Cat in the Hat, young readers are introduced to analog clocks through playful, rhythmic text. The standout feature is the die-cut clock with clicking, movable hands, allowing children to physically practice setting the time to match the clocks shown on each page. It transforms a fundamental lesson into a hands-on, engaging activity.

The combination of Seussian whimsy and a functional, sturdy clock mechanism makes this more than just a reading experienceβ€”it's a practical learning tool. The clicking hands provide satisfying tactile feedback that reinforces the concepts of hours and minutes. This book is ideal for preschoolers and kindergarteners who are just beginning their time-telling journey, successfully making a sometimes-abstract concept concrete and fun. It’s a clever bridge between playful reading and early math skills.
