Maisy's First Clock
From good morning to good night, Maisy the mouse helps preschoolers  learn to tell time. At 8 o'clock, Maisy wakes up and brushes her teeth. At 10  o'clock she grocery shops. Two o'clock finds this perky pink-eared rodent  playing in the park. But how does Maisy stick to this rigorous schedule of fun  and food? Learning how to tell time is easy with this big, sturdy board book. A  die-cut hole through the entire book reveals a colorful pretend clock. Readers  move the hands of the clock, which turn gears behind a clear plastic window. A  simple printed clock (dots and two "hands") is placed as a hint near the  interactive clock, while carefully labeled objects of Maisy's day--"overalls,"  "sandwiches," "rubber duck"--help expand vocabulary. Lucy Cousins's signature  style features heavy black lettering on vibrantly hued pages. Kids who fell in  love with Maisy inMaisy's Pop-up  Playhouse,Maisy's Big  Flap Book, and the many other titles by this award-winning artist will  love passing time with their favorite bewhiskered pal.
