It's Almost Time

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Chalek. Presenting a wide assortment of timepieces, this book begins with rhymed text--sometimes a bit forced--then moves to onomatopoeic descriptions of specific clocks ("Bzzzzz cries the buzzer clock angrily"). Humor comes through in the illustrations, which feature a cartoon horse wearing multiple watches and his blue jay pal. From grandfather clocks to cuckoos, it's a pleasant, if somewhat pointless, catalog of timekeepers.
