(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mary GrandPré. Take one part love story, add fantasy elements, and mix with a parable about making time for happiness. Schmuel has been pushed to "hurry up" throughout his life. He becomes a skilled tailor but never has a moment for himself--until the clock goes "Tickety-tock tick!" stopping time for the harried man. Rhyming text and textured illustrations capture the story's magic.
