(3) K-3 This thoughtfully organized, graphically interesting, ambitious book introduces the concept of linear time. Beginning with a second and concluding with a century, units are introduced sequentially, with sub-units such as days of the month explained clearly. Activities such as baking a cake or making a paper-plate clock are reasonable; and uncluttered, stylized graphics all contain the curled string implied by the subtitle.
