Overview
I Can Tell The Time is a bright, interactive hardback activity book that turns a tricky early-learning milestone into a fun, hands-on adventure. Written by Kate Thomson and illustrated by Barry Green, this Fox Eye Publishing edition features a real teaching clock built into the inside back cover, with moving hour and minute hands, so children can practise setting the time as they read along.
About the Book
Learning to tell the time is one of those essential early-years skills that can feel daunting for young children — but I Can Tell The Time makes it genuinely enjoyable. Aimed at children aged 4 and up, this novelty hardback combines a simple, rhyming narrative with colourful illustrations that keep little readers hooked from cover to cover. The star feature is the moveable teaching clock fixed to the inside back cover: children can turn the hands themselves, matching what they see on the page to a real analogue clock face, reinforcing the concept through play rather than rote memorisation.
The rhyming text is easy to follow and fun to read aloud, helping key rules — like the difference between the hour and minute hands, and what "half past" or "quarter to" mean — stick in a child's memory. Fun, friendly characters guide readers through each stage of learning, building confidence step by step. The book works equally well as a bedtime read, a classroom resource, or a rainy-afternoon activity. The sturdy hardback construction withstands enthusiastic little hands, making it a durable, screen-free way to introduce a core numeracy and life skill.
