Synopsis

“I have taught time for many, many years but never with such instant success” Parents in Touch

“Parents certainly need to know about this high-quality resource.” Teach Primary magazine

In this, the second of the Aramazu Learn to Tell the Time Stories, following the theft of Time by the greedy Herman the Giant, President Pickles realises he must find a way to bring the concept back to his citizens. A Learn to Tell the Time store is opened, with a special introductory offer: "Find out about the hours, o'clocks and half-pasts, absolutely free!"

As the people of Aramazu begin to understand Time, your child will learn along with them. The book introduces the concept of hours and half-hours on a clock and provides plenty of opportunities for readers to have a go at finding these, learning alongside the colourful characters - and independently - using the cut-out teaching clock.

Aramazu provides an original, completely common-sense way of learning to understand the way time is broken down into hours, and minutes (covered by the third book of the series, Aramazu Finds the Minutes) so that children not only learn to say what the time is but gain an understanding of how hours and minutes fit together.

The Aramazu concept of how to tell the time is simple to grasp, and the practice clock gives children the chance to test themselves and their families!

From the mischievous and greedy Princess Tempora (who tries to trick the inhabitants of Aramazu) to Beryl Changegear the bus driver and Bobby Buffer the stationmaster, the cast of characters help to bring the stories to life.

The Learn to Tell the Time Stories are also available as a three-book box set, which comes with an audio CD.
