(3) K-3 Illustrated by Annette Cable. A competent introduction to measurements of time builds from seconds and minutes to centuries and millennia, defining each unit in terms of another. The text's seven-year-old narrator neatly reviews units by relating them to her life: "A week ago, I got new soccer shoes. Now they're seven days old." Playful artwork includes details like sixty mini-maps of Mississippi for counting seconds, "one Mississippi, two Mississippi."
