A Second Is a Hiccup: A Child's Book of Time

32 pp. | Scholastic/Levine | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-83106-7 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton. Using child-friendly analogies, Hutchins moves from seconds through larger units of time. The lilting text is affectionate and upbeat. Denton's watercolors show children passing time both quietly and actively. A soothing, lyrical text, many small details in the art, and a final picture showing three friends tucked into their beds make this book a perfect way to end the day.
