Classroom ideas: This book could be used to explain to the children that a day has 24 hours and introduce to them midnight AM and PM hours as well as midnight and Noon time division.
With this book we can also explain the children the differences between analog and digital clocks. We can have an analog clock as we read the story so the children can move the hands on the clock face to correspond to the times in the story.
As a follow up activity we can make a collage finding pictures in magazines that show different clocks and different times. Children can circle each clock that shows the time on the hour.
