You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Clocks and Calendars! (You Wouldn't Want to Live Without…)

That hour that drags, that day you can't wait for-and those months of blissful sun that you count down to!
This series takes readers (Ages 8-12) on a historical journey, examining how people coped in the past and how they developed ingenious ways to make life safer and less unpleasant. Each book features full-color cartoon-style illustrations and hilarious speech bubbles to heighten interest, making the series attractive even to reluctant readers.

All these things have been made measurable by clocks and calendars. Although time may not always be on our side, without clocks and calendars we would forget birthdays, be late for appointments, and miss out on important things in life.
