Mark Burgess''s much-loved ten little teddy bears are back in a tell-the-time book. The teddy bears are having a party. There is a lot to be done; food to cook, friends to invite, and of course putting up a party tent in the back garden. Follow the friends through their day and learn to tell the time too! A large clock is featured at the bottom of every spread, with the time clearly picked out for children to recognise. And within each picture there are clocks to spot too. With a rhyming text to carry the reader through the story of the teddies'' day, this book functions both as a delightful picture book, and also as a perfect introduction to the concept of time. AGE 3-5
