David McKee has taken against the modern world and its obsession with time in this boldly illustrated and entertaining story. If you're worried about the theory of relativity - as applied to time - this will also help you grasp the concept. The family acquires a clock and their happy lives are shattered. How do you know the clock is right? Get another one of course, to check the first, but then they both tell slightly different times. Which is right now? Good fun for children old enough to see the point and the illustrations add to the oddity.
