Publisher Description
When the clock strikes one, a fun-loving mouse runs up the clock. But what happens when the clock strikes two? A cat gets hungry for mouse-tail stew . . . and the chase is on! Hour by hour, more animals - and even a few people - join in. The crowd charges into the barnyard, dashes through the kitchen, and eventually heads right into the middle of town. Keep your eye on the many clocks in this book and follow along until this twelve-hour race comes to a surprising end!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Part of the Math Is Fun! series, this intro to telling time has a familiar beginning ("Hickory dickory dock,/ a mouse ran up the clock"), but things soon take a dramatic turn. When the clock strikes two, a farm cat awakens and pursues the mouse, and additional barnyard animals (as well as a family of farmers) join the chase each hour. Just when things have calmed down ("Hickory dickory dell,/ by midnight, all was well"), the clock strikes one once more, and it looks like the chase may begin again. A concluding note offers some time-telling basics. Ages 5 8.
