Just in Time - A tell-the-time story book

Some of my young reviewers were delighted with the teaching the time element in this lively picture book about Tom's morning rush to get to school. They also enjoyed the antics of the dragon who features in the background. One group said they would borrow it a second time from the library and might buy it. The majority, however, felt that it would be more suited to 'school learning' and it was not one that they would buy. Some of the more enterprising suggested a Big Book format and that it should be used for Literacy/Numeracy Hour as a whole class shared text. Staff definitely welcomed it and would use it in both Literacy and Numeracy lessons. They would also recommend it to parents of children who find learning to read the time difficult. A mixed bag of responses but clearly a very useful book!
