K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Robert Neubecker.
"Tick tock. Ten o'clock. / Tick tock. Messy smocks." This simple patterned text takes readers through each hour of the day as an older woman (Grandma, probably, but the text doesn’t specify) cares for very active twin girls while their mom is at work. Humorous cartoon illustrations depict the nonstop action, their caregiver's gradually dwindling patience, and her well-deserved, end-of-day armchair snooze.
