A Second, a Minute, a Week with Days in It: A Book about Time (Math Is CATegorical ®)

I am a mom to a severely autistic child and I am homeschooling him. He is super intelligent in many ways but struggles to understand some concepts. I wanted to try to introduce the idea of time and clocks to him. He enjoys the calendar work we do each day. Bought this book on a whim. Thought it might help and he loves it. Being a homeschool mom I buy a ton of books but this is one of my favorites. The author has several that are on other concepts such as addition and subtraction. I bought them all. These are adorable books with perfect rhyming that teach tricky concepts in way that helps kids understand. The illustrations are funny and educational. I really enjoy this book and so does my son. We will be using it for a long time. A great purchase. I highly recommend.

My students loved it

This is a very fun book which works great in teaching and explaining time to a child. My son absolutely enjoyed reading it.

Great book to add to math lesson on time.Goes through seconds to minutes to hours to days, week, years

Ordered for work.

I love all these books! Words are categorical and math is categorical. This is a great way to present several examples about the concept of time and in a fun rhyming way.

My kids love this book. At two years old and one year old they are probably a little too young for it but they enjoy having it read to them nonetheless. They love the silly pictures.

This was on a teacher's wish list. They had a book tasting and it went good.

This is not a good book, it does not present the concepts of time in a clear and easy to follow manner. It doesn’t give good, clear, universal references for how long units of time are - it does give references, just bad ones - and it introduces things like decades which overcomplicate the whole concept. I read it once to my three year old and won’t be reading it again.

Clearly explained what is time for children, everything in this book is fun with lovely illustrations, kids would love it, recommended.

Okay but had hoped it would engage my Key Stage 1 class and they were not really interested.
